“I’m going to be the boss with money and power,” the naturalized U.S. citizen from Argentina is heard saying. “I’m not an American anymore. This is it.”<\/p>\n
Mascheroni said his New York bomb wouldn’t kill anyone but would disable the city’s electrical system and help Venezuela become a nuclear superpower. It was not known how realistic his New York bombing idea was.<\/p>\n
But he suggested that once Venezuela obtained a bomb, the country should explode it “to let the world know what we’ve got,” according to the recordings.<\/p>\n
The recordings were played Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque before a federal judge sentenced Mascheroni, 79, to five years in prison followed by three years of supervised release as part of a plea agreement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I guess we’re lucky that most of these are cranks and the FBI gets to them before someone with real connections find them. The Venezuelan government says that they never had contact with Mascheroni. But I’m sure they’ll be looking for him when he gets out of jail in five years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
