ELI LANCE – ELIJAH NERI - HAKAN BOZAN IS LAUGHING AT LAS VEGAS POLICE

What is the fate of one of the heroes of the articles in BLACKLIST.AERO, who pocketed the money for aircraft parts and disappeared. I will tell you about this in the new “report from Las Vegas” - a city in which you can become a millionaire almost instantly, and spend your millions in a matter of hours. A city in which the police, apparently, are already so tired of all sorts of crooks and adventurers that they are ready to react to anything only if they are brought a swindler, already handcuffed and with twenty boxes of evidence for the district attorney.

Two years ago, in my article, I told about how a swindler named Elijah Neri, acting under the name Alias Jah on behalf of AWS Aviation Parts LLC, deceived two companies – he supplied one company with used spare parts that were dangerous for further use, instead of new ones. And he simply did not send anything to the another one. I also told about how BLACKLIST.AERO asked the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct an investigation. We also contacted the FBI, which responded and sent a Las Vegas police lieutenant to deal with this case. After the police officer arrived, Elijah Neri disappeared. And what happened after that???

!!!NOTHING!!! The suspect disappeared, and screw him! No one even lifted a finger to find the person who rented space for an office, pretended to be doing something and left digital (and not only) traces. But no one in the Las Vegas police even thought to start looking for him. And why they should?! He did not steal from a casino. “The owners of Las Vegas” will not make claims against them for inaction, their interests were not harmed. The FAA’s responses to our request, when we inquired about the progress of the investigation for several months, were also not impressing with its variety:

“We can confirm that we are investigating this request. Unfortunately, we cannot disclose other details.”

However, a few months after our request, the AWS Parts registration certificate was revoked. Apparently, having found no other traces of the criminal in the aviation market, the FAA inspector handed the materials over to the police, where they happily began to be covered with layers of dust. Apparently, law enforcement officers can only fulfill their direct duties if ordinary people present them with criminals on a silver platter, bringing them straight to the police office with a wagon of evidence. Well, we at BLACKLIST.AERO are ready to take a step in this direction!

Two aspects helped us find the criminal: firstly, the complete publicity of our team’s activities and the trust in the information that I publish based on the results of our work. Thanks to this, we often have sources that provide us with very important, sometimes simply priceless information.

Secondly, any information needs to be checked and rechecked. Therefore, over the three years of our activity, the BLACKLIST.AERO team is increasingly turning into a group of specialists in the field of OSINT (Open Sources Investigations). The symbiosis of public appearances and non-public painstaking analytical work gives very good results.

Some time ago, we were contacted by a person who, as it turned out, knows the criminal whom we previously knew as Elijah Neri, very well. Based on the information provided to us and the subsequent work, we were able to find out the following: the current official name of the swindler is ELI LANCE. However, a few years ago he had a completely different name - HAKAN BOZAN. He was born in December 1976 in Turkey and moved to the United States in the 2000s. According to our information, having received US citizenship, Eli-Hakan did not renounce his Turkish citizenship.

Having arrived in the United States, the swindler began a very well-thought-out game: he repeatedly married, registered companies with the help of his wives, and committed frauds for large sums. And when the facts of fraud were revealed and things started to get hot, Eli-Elijah-Hakan disappeared. Both from the sight of the deceived counterparties and from his latest wife. Being still Hakan Bozan, he opened his first company in the United States back in August 2010 in Phoenix, Arizona. It was called CERVELOUS INC. However, starting from 2011, the company was abandoned, and reports on the company were not submitted. During that period of his “professional activity” this scammer also used the names Tom Bozan, Eli Bozan, Eli Ozan.

After that our hero opened the company GEMINATED ENTERPRISE INC in Tampa, Florida. Soon this company also stopped showing signs of life. This is due to the fact that our hero made a lot of money on fraud with fictitious deliveries of microelectronics and semiconductors.

Apparently after things started to get hot, Hakan Bozan officially changed his name to Eli Lance, moved to Las Vegas and tried to start a career as a producer. From 2012 to 2015, his website elilance.com functioned, offering various shows of musicians, musical groups, etc.

However, even here everything turned out to be not at all simple and become very confusing, so our hero decided to do what he was more accustomed to - a fraud. He tried various shady schemes and as a result, in 2022, he registered the company AWS PARTS LLC in the name of ELIJAH NERI.

The editors of BLACKLIST.AERO could not find confirmation that Eli Lance officially changed his name to Elijah Neri. And since all the property of this swindler, purchased with stolen money, which we were able to find, and later companies were registered in the name of Eli Lance (we also have confirmation of the opening of a bank account in the name of Eli Lance), we will still leave a small piece of work to the law enforcement agencies of Las Vegas: to find out how AWS Parts LLC was registered in the name of Elijah Neri.

But this begs the question: how can we be sure that Eli Lance and Elijah Neri are the same person? We will leave the detailed answer to this question (and we have the evidence) for the moment when this criminal is in handcuffs. Let me put it in a nutshell - he got confused about his profiles and gave himself away under stress. Leaving behind documentary evidence.

This is where the very story related to aviation begins, when AWS Parts LLC suddenly turns (only virtually) into AWS Aviation Parts LLC and registers with this name on specialized sites selling aviation parts. And Elijah Neri turns into Alias Jah.

Well, after BLACKLIST.AERO made a splash, “Elijah Neri” was forced to quickly wind down his hectic activity in aviation and move to other “markets”. But if you think that he went to another state and tried to disappear somewhere, then you are very much mistaken. That lieutenant did not find out his real name? Great! And it was not mentioned in the BLACKLIST.AERO article then. Even better! So you can “work” further, the main thing is not to get involved in aviation anymore.

It must be said that Eli Lance - Hakan Bozan spent his time and fraudulently earned money not only on partying in nightclubs and casinos in Las Vegas. He bought two apartments in Las Vegas, which he rents out on AirBNB, and sometimes spends the night in it himself.

When both of his apartments are occupied, or he needs to leave Las Vegas for a while until the noise dies down, he moves to an RV (camper). He also rents it out periodically.

This swindler acts wisely, having studied the passivity and inertia with which the local police operate. He knows exactly when to slip away, and when he can still “work”. This is real skill of a swindler! Using all the vulnerabilities of the US law enforcement system, opening companies in different states under different names, this “Turkish artist” has been fooling the entire American police for 15 years and finding more and more new victims!

But we will queer the pitch for the hero of our virtual chase - we will tell publicly about his new scam projects. So that every such bastard understands: if you stick your scams into Aviation, you will deal with BLACKLIST.AERO until you cough up all the stolen money back.

So, right after the scandal with AWS Parts LLC, in October 2023, Eli Lance opened a company that, judging by its name, is intended to become a player in the software market - DESERT LION SOFTWARE LLC. And literally two months ago, on January 15, 2025, also DESERT LION HOLDING LLC. Both companies are registered in Nevada. I would like to hope that we managed to warn at least a few new potential victims before they parted with their money for some “super cool software”.

In addition, there is evidence that Eli Lance is trying to organize an alternate aerodrome for himself in Turkey. Obviously, he understands that very soon he will have to run away not even from Nevada, but from the United States.

That’s why he’s also trying to open a company in his home country. He’s also started selling his real estate in Las Vegas, recently dropping the asking price by 15%. He’s clearly in a hurry, the ground is starting to burn under his feet.

I’d like to address the Las Vegas Police Department: Gentlemen! We have the addresses of this swindler’s apartments in Las Vegas, the contacts of all his ex-wives, former and current business partners. We know when he violated traffic rules and what cars he drives, who evicted him from his apartment for non-payment and when, what clubs in Las Vegas he likes to hang out in and spend the money he stole. OSINT intelligence and publicity work wonders!

Maybe you’ll give us badges and guns? And we’ll go arrest this criminal and bring him straight to the prosecutor! We’ll carefully put the evidence in boxes. Well, so to speak, so you don’t bother yourself with unnecessary movements. Or maybe you. Yourself. Finally. Work it out. Eh???
