A federal inmate is accused of operating a black market for machine guns and other weapons behind bars with the Telegram app and a contraband cellphone.
A federal inmate released from a Louisiana prison last week is back behind bars after prosecutors in New York say police caught him running a black market gun trade through a phone smuggled into his cell. Hayden Espinosa, 24, allegedly moderated a Telegram group named '3D Amendment,' a hub for 3D printing and trading guns and gun modifications, including auto sears, which authorities described as 'illegal machine gun conversion devices.
Videos on Instagram and YouTube under 3D Amendment-related accounts include montages of people firing what appear to be automatic pistols and rifles. 'There’s no telling the bloodshed these weapons could have caused if placed in the wrong hands,' Arvelo said. While behind bars, Espinosa allegedly sold a gun, silencers and auto sears to an undercover NYPD officer who was monitoring the Telegram group, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleged at a news briefing Tuesday morning.
He allegedly shipped the items through the U.S. Postal Service. Photos posted on the 3D Amendment Instagram page show packed and labeled parcels. Espinosa is due back in court June 24 for an arraignment on four counts of transporting a firearm, machine gun, silencer or disguised gun and one count of attempted criminal sale of a firearm in the third degree. His contraband cellphones have been confiscated.
