I somehow don't believe his story of going to jail for 10 months for selling firecrackers on ebay. I think there is something to the story he is leaving out.
Here's a transcript of the sentencing hearing, detailing exactly why he was sentenced to 10 months in jail, including the parts of the story he may have left out. Spoiler alert: pipe bombs aren't firecrackers.
Good job believing and spreading the government's character assassination tactics. If there had been pipe bombs, they surely would have charged me with it.
