A senior Navy intelligence official and a California race-car mechanic have been convicted for their roles in pushing through a secret Navy contract to build hundreds of untraceable rifle silencers for an unspecified program.
Navy civilian Lee Hall of Sterling was convicted of conspiracy and theft of government money for steering the nearly $2 million no-bid contract to his boss’ brother, Mark Landersman of Temecula, California. Landersman was convicted of a single conspiracy count.
Witnesses said Landersman learned how to make the silencers off the Internet and had costs of only $10,000.
