The guy who invented the 3D printed gun got honeypotted by the FBI on a dating site for sugar-daddies. The girl had a fake ID saying she was 18. But since the law didn't care, the guy is now going to prison for a long time because the girl was actually only 16.

That's still a long time for being tricked.
Oh ok. I guess Texas laws are different than some places. He was still forced to relinquish control over his company, right?
