On June 20, 2013, Idan C. Greenberg, 59, of Glendale, and Randolph Benjamin Rodman, 60, of Crownsville, Md., both licensed gun dealers, were sentenced to 121 months and 33 months in prison, respectively. Greenberg was found guilty of four charges involving conspiracy; illegal possession of a machine gun; receipt and possession of a firearm transferred in violation of the NFA; and receipt and possession of a firearm made in violation of the NFA.
Rodman was found guilty by a federal jury of 22 charges including conspiracy; illegal possession of a machine gun; obliterating the serial numbers of firearms; the manufacturing, possession, receipt and transfer of machine guns in violation of the National Firearms Act (NFA); and making false entries on applications and records.
Between Sept. 22, 1993, and continuing through April 8, 2009, Rodman and Greenberg conspired violated federal regulations on machine guns, including the 1986 machine gun ban. In order to circumvent the machine gun regulations, Rodman and Greenberg had the serial numbers from over 30 inexpensive, registered machine guns cut-off and welded onto completely different and more expensive models of machine guns that were illegally manufactured. Rodman and Greenberg then transferred or sold the newly manufactured illegal machine guns by falsely utilizing the registration of the original machine gun.
