New Three Cases Defaulter: GT AirParts LLC
One more Three Cases Defaulter has been added to the Global Aviation Register of Defaulter companies BLACKLIST.AERO. Three cases from different claimants have been submitted and published in relation to GT AirParts LLC from the USA.
Briefly, all three cases are similar to each other. GT AirParts offers an aircraft part at an attractive price, receives a prepayment for it, and then the customer receives neither the part nor a refund of his prepayment.
The owner of the company Thaimy Maurici initially tried to justify that she herself was a victim of fraud by some supplier. However, she did not give any details and soon preferred to disappear from sight altogether. Some time later she resurfaced in a new company and under a new surname - now her name is Thaimy Socorro. Under this name she works for NAS MRO from Florida on position Vice President of Business Development, Sales and Procurement. We will be keeping a close eye on this company for a repeat of the situations that Thaimy Maurici - Socorro has been seen in.
Meanwhile, GT Airparts continues to operate as if nothing has happened! It was only after the third case was published in the BLACKLIST.AERO Registry that the company contacted all three claimants and initially offered to pay $500 per month. And then, when the claimants did not agree to such a ridiculous amount compared to the amounts owed (USD 22,000 + USD 17,500 + 13,500) it increased its offer to USD 1,500 per month to each claimant.
However, immediately after the claimants agreed to this offer, GT AirParts disappeared from the radar again! Well, perhaps publicity of the fraudulent activities of this company will help other aviation market participants not to get into a similar situation in the future.
BLACKLIST.AERO Register administration and editors urges all participants of the aviation market to NOT COOPERATE with GT Airparts LLC (USA) until it repays all debts.

Can one company become a 39-Cases Defaulter? As the situation with the Nigerian operator ARIK AIR shows - it can if lawlessness is carried out and patronized at the state level.
This was not a voting with any outcome we knew we wanted. Both options have their advantages and challenges for us. But it was important for us to understand the real sentiments among active participants of the aviation market. Because for us these are the people who are called policy makers.
Dear BLACKLIST.AERO followers! It is extremely important for us to hear your opinion on one of the most important issues of our site. As you well know, we never delete articles from our site. For all three years, no one has managed to intimidate or bribe us. I told them every time - even if you bang your head against the brick wall, hire lawyers, bandits, killers, anyone, throw mud at us (and at me personally) in the form of various, the most idiotic fakes - it will not help! It also never came to discussing specific amounts for removing an article, because such proposals were nipped in the bud.
Stories about how scammers, having earned money by deceiving counterparties, invest part of the loot in raising their status are not uncommon. The calculation is quite simple: firstly, they need to whitewash their reputation. Secondly, the new status allows them to penetrate the circle of fatter wallets, which means they can rob at a new, higher level. So such investments are usually justified and there is nothing surprising here.
