Turns out that poppin' tags can get pretty pricy.
A Grand Prairie man faces up to five years in prison for defrauding the U.S. government by selling Chinese electronics he and his company said were made in America.Suhaib Allababidi, 45, of Grand Prairie lied to the federal government about where the products his company sold to government entities were manufactured, says U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, Chad E. Meacham.
On Wednesday, Allababidi pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States, and 2M Solutions pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and one count of filing false or misleading export information. In 2014 2M Solutions was awarded a five-year contract to provide American-made electronic products to the U.S. Government Services Administration, and in 2018 the Department of Defense awarded 2M Solutions a $49,500 contract for three solar security camera trailers. The trailers were shipped directly from China to a U.S. military base for more than $11,000.
