Amazing. How do you suppose he even found an arms trafficker? It’s not like they’re listed in the phone book. Yee must have been deep into crime and/or terrorism for some time.
Also, I’d like to know who he thought he was selling them to. They were meant for use here in the US, so what group did he think he was supporting with this sale?
It was mentioned in one article that he had been considering fleeing to the Philippines. There are Chinese living there, although they’re generally not Muslims, so I suppose he may have had some connections through a relative or friend there. I don’t think he’s a Muslim, but he certainly has some odd connections.
Definitely Chinese are in the Phillipines:

MANILA, Philippines—National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) agents raided an Angeles City hotel at dawn on Friday being used as a base for “blackmail” by a syndicate of foreigners, a bureau official said.
Agents of the NBI Investigation Services headed by Deputy Director Ruel Lasala raided 26 rooms of the Sothernberg Hotel in Clark, Pampanga.
Lawyer Daniel Daganzo, NBI Foreign Liaison Division head, said 52 Chinese were arrested for financial fraud for allegedly threatening and extorting money from people in Taiwan and China.

He was going to get them from the muslims in the Philippines.
