[[Ronald Lister]] incorporated Mundy Security Group Inc. in Laguna Beach in mid-1983. Named as directors and officers were Lister, attorney Maurice Green, attorney Gary Shapiro, and reserve police officer [[Chris Moore|Christopher W. Moore]]. A business card found in a drug raid three years later identified [[Danilo Blandon|Danilo Blandón]] as a vice president of the company.[^1] ### Internal Chaos Moore described the goings-on at Mundy Security Group's offices as alarming. Director Maurice Green was a self-proclaimed legal genius with a severe drug and alcohol problem. Green had a special hollow wall constructed behind his desk so he could kick through the paneling and flee the building if needed. Moore recalled finding Green sitting at his desk looking down the barrel of a gun; when he told Lister, Lister laughed about it. Director Gary Shapiro described an incident where the office was besieged by angry doctors "screaming and yelling about how Maurice had screwed up with their money." Lister was so wary of Green that he secretly videotaped him.[^1] Green was prosecuted and disbarred in 1987 for forging prescriptions to obtain narcotics. In 1992 he was sentenced to two years in prison for grand theft and practicing law without a license.[^1] ### Weapons and Electronics Operations Aside from a few burglar alarm installations, Moore said Mundy Security's only other known business activity was an attempt to market a laser sighting device for AR-15 assault rifles, designed by Lister's partner [[William Downing|Bill Downing]]. The device used a tiny laser beam to put a small red dot on the target for nighttime killing.[^1] A 1996 report from the [[U.S. Customs]] Service confirmed that Mundy Security Group was licensed with the [[State Department]] in 1983 to export U.S. Munitions List items to other countries. "This firm received three DSP-73s [temporary export licenses] to export laser components and spare parts to 'various countries,'" the Customs report stated. The State Department's database lacked detailed information on the specific equipment and destination countries.[^1] Lister sold weapons to Blandón at the rate of one or two per week, including "assorted handguns, semiautomatic Uzi machine pistols, KG99 Tec Nine machine pistols, and possibly semi-automatic AK47's," along with commercially available night vision devices. Blandón then resold these weapons to [[Ricky Ross]] and other crack dealers in [[South Central Los Angeles]].[^1] ### Connection to Contra Arms Network Blandón arranged for Lister to give a weapons sales presentation to the leadership of the [[Contras]], attended by several top leaders including [[Eden Pastora]], Adolfo Chamorro, and Mariano Montealgre. "Blandón said the attendees showed no interest in Lister's offer and Blandón received the impression that the military arms of the Contras was already being supplied by [[Central Intelligence Agency]] or another U.S. government agency," the CIA reported.[^1] ### Footnotes [^1]: Gary Webb, *Dark Alliance*, Chapter 10: "Teach a man a craft and he's liable to practice it"
