Playboy Warlord’s Arkansas Empire Comes Crashing Down
A Lamborghini-owning, tank-driving gun dealer accused of having multiple bombs at his palatial Arkansas home allegedly lied about being a Pentagon official, boasted about doing business with Pakistan’s intelligence services, and was mysteriously barred from entering Turkey last year.
Numerous new details about the investigation into Neil Ravi Mehta, whose license plate reads “WARLORD,” are revealed in a 75-page search warrant affidavit obtained by The Daily Beast, offering an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse of the ongoing probe.
The affidavit, in which a former employee of Mehta’s says the high-living 31-year-old took in some $1.5 million dollars a month from online weapons sales alone, also shows the mysterious Fort Smith man is under investigation for another, significantly more prosaic, reason: lying to investigators about employees’ paid breaks.
