In before the "He shouldn't have done anything wrong" and "This is only one side of the story, I'm sure he's guilty" comments.

one of my LGSs has a list of people they call when they have something cheap that they don't want going out to local thugs. Unfortunately this dude seems to do most of his work in the "cheap" category ... and now straw purchases are his fault.

Wonder what the motivation was. Not that he necesarily did anything wrong, I don’t know, but something he did put them on their radar.

FWIW, he should sue them to get his FFL back, claim that he was coerced into giving it up. Cheap suit, good potential damages, and a headache for the agency.

Curious about that myself, granted these days it's completely possible that he did 100% nothing wrong at all. But he did seem a bit sloppy on his records from what the article read and transposing model and serial number seems a bit like a no no to me. Not "get raided" no no but not very thorough.

Yeah. He was on their radar because he had an FFL.

Nobody is perfect. I once got a suppressor that wasn’t mine, ATF agent said to just send it back to wherever it came from. Swapping the serial and model on the form is dumb, but if the form contains all of the correct information I think he complied with the law…just makes it hard to scan the documents and build a database.
 
Well, they're just following the IRS's lead.....I mean they confiscated that other dealers 4473s recently.
ATF felt outdone is all......
