The Real “War Dogs” Arms Dealer
In this weeks episode of the Wide Awake Podcast I speak to former arms dealer, David Packouz. David was an arms dealer during the War in Afghanistan. As a partner of AEY Inc, a prominent weapons contractor for the U.S. Department of Defence, he and his friend Efraim Diveroli landed a $300 million government contract in 2007 to provide ammunition and weapons to the Afghan Army. At this time David was just 24 years old and his friend Efraim was 20. Their story has since been adapted into the popular movie War Dogs, featuring renowned actors Jonah Hill, Miles Teller and Bradley Cooper.
