Another one of the twentysomething dealers of bunk bullets to the Afghani Army featured in yesterday's whopper of a New York Times story seems to have cropped up on MySpace. Yesterday, Radar reported on what appears to be the online profile of David M. Packouz. Say hello to his little friend, Efraim Diveroli. Or someone playing him on the web, claiming to be a big fan of Heat, Blow, and Scarface.

Then again, what 22-year-old with a $300 million military contract and a scrap heap full of used cold war bullets and bombs isn't?

The page hasn't been maintained since October 29, 2005, but in his blurbs, the man who seems to be Diveroli offers another side of his personality, one you just don't get from all of the reporting on his fraudulent arms dealing and restraining order. He writes ...

Well of course im a super nice guy!!! , i know what i want out of life but not exactly quite sure how to get it yet. I was born and bred in miami beach and have no immediate plans to leave but i have thought about it. Im a pretty easy going guy and many say i have a good sense of humor. I had problems in high school so i was forced to work most of my teen years and i probably grew up way to fast. I finally got a decent apartment and im content for the moment , however i definately have the desire to be very successful in my business and this does take up alot of my time.

As for all of that stuff about Diveroli going around a girl's house banging on her doors and windows, well, that's not the same Efraim who says on his MySpace that he's looking for "a sweet pretty girl with a good attitude and love for life , a woman that will stand by her man because she knows he would do the same for her no matter the circumstance."

Like when his business is accused of dealing Chinese ammunition instead of Hungarian-made bullets (Watchout! Lead warning!). Or when he's called to testify in a Senate hearing.

MySpace messages sent to the "Efraim" account were not immediately returned, but Diveroli declined to comment to the Times for today's story. A message sent to a man believed to be his former partner, David Packouz, seeking corroboration wasn't immediately returned either.
