You can find almost anything on eBay.
According to the FBI, James Everette Dutschke used the online auction to buy a critical ingredient to making the toxin ricin, which he’s accused of sending to President Obama and two other political officials in a letter, Christian Science Monitor reports.
Dutschke bought 100 red castor beans from eBay in November and December 2012, the Christian Science Monitor reported.
“I understand that the number of castor beans ordered is more than sufficient to extract the quantity of ricin found in the three letters,” Special Agent Stephen Thomason wrote in an affidavit, Reuters reported.
The FBI arrested Dutschke at his home Saturday.
