Florida teenager faces bioterrorism charges<\/span><\/h2>\n
24 January 2014<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
Jesse Korff, 19, of Labelle, Florida is facing federal charges in New Jersey for selling poison through a black marketplace on the underground Internet. Law enforcement says from November 2013 through 15 January this year, Korff produced, stockpiled, and sold abrin for use as a weapon. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC<\/span>) considers abrin, which is extracted from the seeds of the rosary pea plant, a subset of biological agents and toxins posing a threat to public health and safety. Small doses of abrin are potentially lethal to humans if ingested, inhaled, or injected.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\u201cThe criminal complaint alleges Jesse Korff was willing to sell a potentially deadly toxin to a stranger over the Internet,\u201d U.S.<\/span> Attorney Paul Fishman said in a statement. \u201cHe allegedly peddled the poison on a virtual black market of illegal and dangerous goods, hidden in the shadow of a secretive computer network favored by cybercriminals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
