He founded the company Merex, which together with its "affiliated companies have been used over the years by [[intelligence services around the world - the CIA included - for all sorts of secret arms deals. During Iran-Contra, the company appears to have helped 'front' a shipment of East Bloc arms to the Contras. The arms were apparently obtained initially by one of the scandals central figures, General Richard Secord."[2]
