About

I'm an expat Californian who is obsessed with traveling to strange and exotic destinations in the former Communist Bloc. I also like tacos, surfing, and the geopolitics of oil. Washington, D.C. is currently my home, but I'm looking to break out of this fetid swamp someday. Read more about me here, check out my photo album, or send me an e-mail.

Efraim Diveroli has no friends

The life of a war profiteer is indeed a lonely one, if Efraim's MySpace profile is any indication:

efraim_diveroli_myspace_sm.gif

He assures us, however, that he is a "super nice guy" who enjoys "chilling with my boyz", business travel, and "fine scotch whisky", which you can surely afford when you're making a nice profit from those multi-million dollar defense contracts.

About me: Well of course im a super nice guy!!! , i know what i want out of life but not exactly quite sure how to get it yet. I was born and bred in miami beach and have no immediate plans to leave but i have thought about it. Im a pretty easy going guy and many say i have a good sense of humor. I had problems in high school so i was forced to work most of my teen years and i probably grew up way to fast. I finally got a decent apartment and im content for the moment , however i definately have the desire to be very successful in my business and this does take up alot of my time.
efraim's Interests: for the moment im basically just working and chilling with my boyz when im not, im looking for some hobbies like i keep saying im gonna go to the gym and i started playing football again which is definately my favorite sport. im one of those guys who needs to be entertained and having lots of fun all the time so if your also an undiagnosed case of ADD look me up. i like to eat good food and i dont know how to cook so i eat out alot!!!! ilike to travel whenever posssible sometimes for business , and of course i like going clubbing or going to a movie, oh and ive really taken a liking towards fine scotch whisky recently dont ask me why.... MY FAVORITE MOVIES ARE: HEAT,,BLOW,SCARFACE, FACE OFF, THE ROCK,GOFATHER, SCHINDLERS LIST,AMERICAN BEUTY ETC.....

Someone in the Pentagon gave this 22 year old dude a $300 million contract to supply ammo to Afghan security forces?! Jesus Christ, he spells boys as "boyz" and doesn't know where his goddamn caps lock key is located! That sound you hear is my brain exploding.

Just as I suspected! Tom Anderson (MySpace Tom) is closely affiliated with a sinister network of international weapons suppliers!

He's a good boy

"HEAT,,BLOW,SCARFACE, FACE OFF, THE ROCK,GOFATHER, SCHINDLERS LIST..."

Which of these is not like the others, LOL...

too funny. a 22 years old with connection to all of the eastern european jewish mafioso? i guess his father has been in israeli IDF and this poor dumb kid is just a front.

If you notice the last login is 2005, a lot can change in 3 years, this is not worth analyzing.

His last login was in 2005 so his page is of no relevance. He probably made it and never used it again. The Defense Department give out thousands of contracts for a lot of things. You think they cared how old the owner of the company was. He probably made a low bid to supply the arms and was awarded a contract. You get what you pay for.

Anyone can bid on a contract. It's not that hard really, just very paperwork intensive. You submit a bid and you get the money. Not very hard. This guy has a long history. He started with Botach tactical in Los Angeles. Yes I do believe there is a Jewish connection to everything from his ammo from Albania to the other ammos in eastern Europe and Russia.

It reminds me of the movie Lords of War except everyone is Jewish

you guys need to fuck off you dont even know the kid but your jumping to conclusions. If you knew him you would know that him and his employs would pull 72 hour work shifts working their asses off trying to win bids. so why dont you guys take your jealous little heads and stick them up your fucking ass just because hes well off and your not doesnt mean you should talk shit so fuck yall

Just for all your info, this is a friend of mine from highschool. This is a totally normal guy that grew up a lot faster then most of us and literally transformed his fathers small business into what it is now. Although we havent chilled in a couple years I do not think there is any way he would possibly be involved in this type of shady business. We knew he was makin money but not fukin $300 MM contracts! I think its his competitors trying to fuk him and the governemt not able to deal with the fact that he may have fuked them too.

Not fair! I have enough guns and ammo to supply a small army and I don't get some huge contract. I'm just a poor white girl from the Midwest. :/

Lindsay I agree with you about the spelling. And I seriously doubt these people replying to your blog actually know him.

And, Mr. Anonymous, take a chill pill. It's just a blog on the internet. Don't get your panties in a wad. kthx bai!

Efraim used to buy military goggles from my old company.

I have worked with him and his dad Michael, I definitley had a sense that something was off with those two. They were extremely difficult to deal with.

It is shocking that this little turd has the contract with DOD.

Of course he is a front man for his corrupt father but there is also obviously a massive amount of corruption inside the DOD.

For all of you who say you knew him and "do not think there is any way he would possibly be involved in this type of shady business" you are either naive or on the payroll. I KNOW HIM TOO AND HE'S ABOUT AS UNETHICAL AND DISRESPECTFUL AS THEY COME. To bad for him this in not about respect or ethics, he's in serious legal trouble.
