He faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.
According to the DOJ, the plea agreement states that Eward and his father, Dustin, who is also a co-defendant, operated Eward Research Inc., a company that marketed and sold firearm silencers over the internet.
Sales could be completed with either cash or cryptocurrency, the DOJ wrote. The website included photographs of the items for sale, which were identifiable as components of firearms silencers. In 2018, Dustin Eward was interviewed by two FBI Special Agents. He told the agents that he lived with his son and that they operated a business out of their home. According to Dustin Eward, the DOJ said, they produced and sold “solvent traps” and adaptors for firearms.
An undercover agent in 2022 ordered three silencers from the Ewards, the DOJ said, whihc were examined by an ATF firearms enforcement officer who concluded the designs were consistent in design and construction with firearms silencers that he had examined in the past and he recognized the devices to be firearms silencers.
