<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">BALTIMORE, MD. – United States District Judge Catherine C. Blake sentenced Marco DeCamillo, age 41, of Reading, Pennsylvania on March 8, 2018, to 12 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for mail fraud stemming from the sales of misbranded body armor. Judge Blake also ordered DeCamillo to pay $124,000 in restitution.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The sentence was announced by Acting United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Stephen M. Schenning, Special Agent in Charge Marlon V. Miller of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Philadelphia and Special Agent in Charge Gordon B. Johnson of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Baltimore Field Office.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-size: 16pt; color: #ff0000;"> During his tenure as a police officer, DeCamillo also owned and operated a business called Mad Dragon Tactical (MDT). MDT sold law enforcement tactical gear, including body armor rifle plates, primarily on auction and shopping websites. </span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">According to his plea agreement, De Camillo was a former police officer in West Reading, PA. During his tenure as a police officer, DeCamillo also owned and operated a business called Mad Dragon Tactical (MDT). MDT sold law enforcement tactical gear, including body armor rifle plates, primarily on auction and shopping websites. DeCamillo, through MDT, sold approximately $169,000 worth of body armor that was falsely classified as certified by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ). The NIJ conducts ballistic testing on body armor. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">DeCamillo falsely claimed that certain MDT body armor shields would protect against armor piercing </span>rounds <span style="font-size: 12pt;">and that certain products were made with the more robust HY80 and A4600 Steel. DeCamillo used his status as a police officer to sell the misbranded body armor rifle plates, understanding that several of his buyers were in law enforcement and/or military or defense and were relying on DeCamillo’s representations regarding the quality and safety of his products.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; color: #ff0000;">The FBI verified that DeCamillo, through MDT, had advertised online a set of body armor plates with an altered ballistic test sheet </span></h2>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="https://www.the-chesapeake.com/2014/04/03/fbi-banker-poppi-metaxas-charged-bank-fraud-conspiracy-perjury/fraud-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-3381"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3381" src="http://www.the-chesapeake.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/FRAUD-247x300.jpg" alt="" width="247" height="300" /></a>According to the plea agreement, on December 17, 2015, a defense contractor and NIJ accredited laboratory (“victim lab”) contacted the FBI with a complaint regarding the misuse of one of their ballistic data test sheets by MDT. The FBI verified that DeCamillo, through MDT, had advertised online a set of body armor plates with an altered ballistic test sheet from the victim lab that had been completed in 2013. The original 2013 test sheet provided the results of ballistic testing on a ballistic test shield, not steel body armor plates as advertised by MDT. FBI agents viewed several MDT listings online and observed photographs of altered ballistic test sheets uploaded to each listing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In January and February 2016, the FBI in Maryland set up controlled purchases of the body armor online from MDT through an undercover identity. All three shipments purchased listed DeCamillo’s home address in West Reading, PA as the return address and were delivered from Pennsylvania to Maryland via US Mail. Inside each package was a hard copy of the altered ballistic test sheet (originating from the victim lab). The HY80 altered ballistic test sheet included an additional hand-written note in the bottom margin stating, “Note-During testing Armor plate stopped (2) .308 Armor piercing Black Tip AP and (3) 7.62&#215;39 Chinese Steel Core Armor Piercing AP rounds.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Numerous ballistics sheets that had been fraudulently altered with “white out” or other redactions were recovered from DeCamillo’s residence during the execution of a search warrant by HSI.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">DeCamillo was interviewed by HSI and the FBI and admitted that he knew that his MDT body armor was not NIJ certified.</span></p>
