In the US at least, running afoul of Export/Import controls and laws guarantees a stay at Club Fed.

European here: Is Club Fed slang for prison?

Yes, apologies and thanks for asking for clarification. It's slang for Federal Prison, but for white collar crimes (less austere accommodations).

It's a play on Club Med (which is more of a European thing, Med being short for Mediterranean, and here Fed short for Federal, as in Federal crime/prison).

I had never heard the term before today, but did appreciate its cleverness.
