Lang, along with another former U.S. solider, Alex Zwiefelhofer, listed guns for sale in Florida in 2018, but allegedly killed the would-be buyers and stole $3,000 as part of a plot to fight against the Venezuelan government, federal court documents say.
"Lang’s alleged conduct is shocking in its scope and its callous disregard for human life," Nicole Argentieri, principal deputy assistant attorney general of the Department of Justice's criminal division, said in a statement Monday.
