Wonder where this might lead?

"Avi Levin, CFO of Ability Inc., confirmed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Monday that employees from subsidiaries Ability Security Systems Ltd. and Ability Computer & Software Industries Ltd. were taken into custody on suspicion of breaking the law on a “significant scale” as part of their business activities. The SEC update followed prior reports from Israeli media outlets indicating the Israeli Defense Ministry has been investigating the firm for allegedly violating international law which regulates Israeli security export controls.

Tel Aviv-based Ability was co-founded by CEO Anatoly Hurgin and CTO Alexander Aurovsky. It is best known for marketing hacking tools, like ULIN, which stands for “Ultimate Interception,” to international governments."
