5 or 6 years ago a local guy was selling firearms at shows and out of his house. I don't know what turned the BATF onto him but an agent and a prohibited person went to his house. While the prohibited person was buying a pistol the agent asked the seller if he realized the buyer was a prohibited person? The seller told the agent more or less, "I don't care who he is as long as he has the money."
A day or so later the seller was arrested, firearms and accessories seized, bank accounts seized, etc, etc, etc. He's still in prison as far as I know. The BATF also arrested his son and exwife and held the son at least for a week or so before releasing him. The son may have lived with him but the exwife hadn't for several years.
They also interrogated one of his friends who had set up with him at some of the shows. They scared that guy so bad he turned over all his firearms, reloading equipment, etc to the BATF.
