Aventura Technologies Inc, headquartered in New York, specializes in the design, development, and production of security hardware, software solutions, and peripheral devices, primarily serving the US government as a key client.
In November 2019, federal authorities charged Aventura with procuring security equipment from China, deceitfully altering it to appear domestically manufactured, and subsequently selling it to the US government, military branches, and corporate entities. The company’s owner, Jack Cabasso—who has a criminal record dating back to 1982 and maintains significant business connections in China—was detained alongside six additional individuals. Law enforcement officials also confiscated twelve bank accounts and a yacht.
On December 6, 2019, an indictment was issued against Aventura Technologies for participating in fraudulent schemes targeting the US government. The charges encompassed conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, illegal importation practices, and money laundering offenses.
History
Federal agents conducted a raid on Aventura Technologies on November 7, 2019, based on allegations that the company sold Chinese-origin components to the United States Army, US Air Force, Marines Corps, and US Navy while misrepresenting them as products made within the United States. The firm and its executive leadership faced accusations including fraud, money laundering, and unlawful importation of Chinese-made equipment.
