California Man Pleads Guilty to Exporting Computers to Iran
Summary:
Massoud Habibion and the company he founded, Costa Mesa, CA-based Online Micro LLC pled guilty to conspiring to ship computers to Iran illegally via Dubai. Part owner Mohsen Motamedian pled guilty to obstructing justice.

First Online Micro sold and shipped 1,000 Dell computers, for which they had paid $500,000 in 2007. Dell cut them off after receiving a number of service calls from Iran.

In 2009 and 2010 Online Micro conspired and did ship computer-related goods to Iran via Dubai valued at more than $4.9 million. The two men lied on export forms and to federal agents, a very bad thing for which Habibion will likely spend five years in prison after paying a large fine, and Motamedian will be sentenced to twenty years with a smaller fine.
