联邦检察官周一表示，一名马萨诸塞州男子在一起涉及从俄罗斯非法进口和销售放射性材料的案件中认罪。雅各布·D联邦检察官在一份声明中表示，44岁的米勒承认未经合法授权进口核材料以及持有弹药的重罪犯;持有爆炸材料的重罪犯;邮寄危险材料;以及持有儿童色情制品。米勒的律师周一晚上没有立即回应置评请求。
A Massachusetts man pleaded guilty in a case involving illegally importing and selling radioactive material from Russia, federal prosecutors said Monday. Jacob D. Miller, 44, pleaded guilty to importing nuclear material without lawful authority as well as being a felon in possession of ammunition; being a felon in possession of explosive materials; mailing hazardous materials; and possession of child pornography, federal prosecutors said in a statement. Miller’s lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday night.
他的请求是星期四根据与美国马萨诸塞州地区检察官办公室达成的一项协议提出的。该办公室说，米勒是一名重罪犯，2004年因持有儿童色情制品和爆炸装置而被定罪。当局在2025年4月的一份声明中说，入狱后，马萨诸塞州政府警告他在eBay上出售贫铀。联邦检察官说，他创办了一家名为“收集元素周期表”的公司，出售化学元素的样品，包括放射性钚和有毒铊。
His pleas were filed Thursday under an agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts, which said Miller is a felon who was convicted in 2004 for possessing child pornography and possessing an explosive device. After prison, he was warned by the state of Massachusetts about the alleged sale of depleted uranium on eBay, authorities said in a statement in April 2025. He launched a business called Collect The Periodic Table, selling samples of chemical elements, including radioactive plutonium, and toxic thallium, federal prosecutors said.
他们说，米勒在他位于马萨诸塞州南哈德利的住所出售这些元素，就在斯普林菲尔德郊外，并通过第三方零售商出售。检察官称，他在2020年底和2025年初向美国和国外的67名客户发送了钚。他们说，尽管法律禁止通过邮寄运输，但他还是使用美国邮政服务运送该元素。检察官称，2025年4月，对米勒住所的搜查发现了六支步枪、炸药和弹药，由于他是重罪犯，所有这些都违反了法律。
Miller sold the elements from his residence in South Hadley, Massachusetts, just outside Springfield, and through a third-party retailer, they said. Prosecutors said he sent plutonium to 67 customers in the United States and abroad in late 2020 and early 2025. He used the U.S. Postal Service to deliver the element despite a law prohibiting its transport through mail, they said. An April 2025 search of Miller’s residence turned up a half dozen rifles, explosive powder and ammunition, all in violation of the law because of his status as a felon, prosecutors said.
当局还表示，他们在他的笔记本电脑和手机上发现了儿童性虐待材料。“米勒至少可以追溯到2002年，就表现出对爆炸物、危险化学品和放射性物质的长期非法痴迷。”
Authorities also said they found child sexual abuse material on his laptop and cellphone, they said. “Miller has exhibited a long-standing and unlawful obsession with explosives, dangerous chemicals and radioactive substances dating back to at least 2002,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts said in a 2025 statement.
马萨诸塞州特区检察官办公室在2025年的一份声明中表示。据称，2002年对他的住所进行搜查时发现了“一个明显的火箭发射器”、一枚管状炸弹以及米勒引爆简易爆炸装置的视频。美国检察官办公室表示，他因拥有这些设备而在州法院被定罪。最新案件的量刑由美国地方法院法官Mark G负责Mastroianni并定于2027年1月21日举行。米勒可能面临46年或更长时间的监禁，但目前尚不清楚法官是否打算允许每项指控的刑期同时服刑，这可能会缩短刑期。
It said a search of his residence in 2002 turned up “an apparent rocket launcher,” a pipe bomb, and video of Miller setting off improvised explosive devices. He was convicted in state court of possessing those devices, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. Sentencing in the latest case is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Mark G. Mastroianni and is scheduled for Jan. 21, 2027. Miller faces the possibility of 46 years or more in prison, though it’s not clear if the judge intends to allow sentences for each charge to be served concurrently, which could reduce that time.
