Hey Ken et al, just noticed the milestone shown in the attached pic has been achieved. Great stuff and I know you and the regular contributors have brought a smile to many of the forumites over the years. “ken anderson...ne..1.... tickling the funny bone (and pulling on the leg) since 2009 dept.”

Fantastic pics Steve - really enjoy seeing the superb building talent on show. I was also intrigued to see the B&V 215 flying and the "triple nickle" (Arado E.555-2) hiding in the pack - hope it got some airtime. Bit of a fan of PSSish flying wings.

From an e-mail sent out to customers HK seems to be taking a somewhat flippant view of their predicament. Quite where all this sale stock is coming from I am not sure. But, the clock is running and HK has only 30 days from the judgement date to front with the bucks or the heavies (Justice Dept) will be brought in to start banging heads. Tweaking the nose of your judgement creditor is not really good business practice.

I would expect that HK had the USA operation "ring fenced" to contain the damage to those companies. Anthony Hand fled USA some time ago and stated that the USA operation did not have funds to pay the fine. The USA warehouse closed yesterday and people with orders pending are scrambling to get their money back. HK USA will probably go Chapter 11 and any incoming deliveries will be seized by customs.

Well, this has been gestating for a few years, but looks like it got to the top of the pile and HK have got slammed. Obviously still early days - they may appeal or have HK USA insulated from the rest of the group, but Yikes. “ Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 503(b) of the Act,117 and section 1.80 of the Commission’s rules,118 ABC Fulfillment Services LLC and Indubitably, Inc. d/b/a HobbyKing IS LIABLE FOR A MONETARY FORFEITURE in the amount of two million eight hundred sixty-one thousand one hundred and twenty-eight dollars ($2,861,128) ....” Full ruling: https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-issues-28-million-fine-against-hobbyking-0 Edited By KiwiKid on 24/07/2020 03:36:31
