This podcast episode will delve into the life of David Packouz, a former American arms dealer, musician, and inventor born 1982. Packouz joined forces with Efraim Diveroli in September 2005 at AEY Inc., an arms company that quickly secured numerous contracts worth millions. Their notable achievement was a nearly $300 million contract in 2007 to supply the Afghan Army with vast quantities of ammunition, which controversially included prohibited Chinese ammunition, leading to significant legal and ethical issues. Packouz played a key role in concealing the origin of these munitions, resulting in a sentence of seven months of house arrest for conspiracy to defraud the United States. His story caught public attention and was later depicted in the 2016 film "War Dogs" starring Myles Teller as David and Jonah Hill as Efraim. David also made a cameo appearance. Beyond his controversial past, Packouz has established himself as an inventor and CEO of Singular Sound, where he developed the BeatBuddy, a guitar pedal drum machine, showcasing his transition from arms dealing to music technology. www.getsome.com.au Instagram @getsome_au Discount Code ZEROLIMITS www.3zeroscoffee.com.au Instargram @3zeroscoffee Discount Code 3ZLimits Website - www.zerolimitspodcast.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/zero.limits.podcast/?hl=en Show Sponsors www.3zeroscoffee.com.au Discount code 3ZLimits www.getsome.com.au Discount code ZEROLIMITS
