If Nadia's still trying to sell the company, then yes, it is still a going concern with claim to its assets.

Can't (or shouldn't) sell what you don't own. Of course, we know nothing of the details.

So a claim is made and this guy sends them a check for a few hundred for the missing parts. Reality is that the parts will never be claimed.

Sends them a check for a few hundred to cover lost parts and then turns around and sells the assembled parts for the 15k mentioned above? Sounds like theft to me, but whatever.

Who knows who owns the parts? Anyone read the contract? Maybe CCH owes the parts guy $.
In any case, seems like Aliens are no more.

Please note when I made the suggestion above, I didn't realize he wasn't working with CCH, and possibly does not actually "own" or have rights to the parts.

Honestly I didnŽt expect so many replies for but I want to clarify some facts:
IŽam not intending to negotiate with this bunch of parts, but it looks like a waste to be watching them here around my house everyday. Mostly when about one year ago I propose to continue assembling to Nadia and she didnŽt want the carry on the operation (technically reasons I think...)
Most of the sizes I assembled (brazing including) were Reds, Grays and Yellows. No unit brazed/ assembled here in Chile ever fail. They were carefully put together and individually tested in a digital jig. You can note my work with a "P" stamped on the head of units I made.
I still can service Alien units sold in Chile, but the distance from States to Chile would make it far from being a Cost Effective operation.
Last bunch of Aliens were assembled and shipped out to US in last February, in this case the stainless nuts were machined here locally and it ended better than the CCH factory made used on previous stuff.
I assembled about 9000+ units and I get to admit my stuff was of better functioning, better finished and safer than the cams previously made in the States.
We started the assembling operation on November 2006 after the famous Recall, when Mr. Waggoner landed here in Santiago with small machinery, measuring tools and a soul full of knowledgement to share with somebody interested on helping out.
Well, this is a small story to tell about Aliens, but I feel proud to have been be part of it and have known somebody like David Waggoner.

Maybe JP.Franklin could work something out where he picks up the business and builds cams in Chile?

For the love of god man just put those aliens together and sell them on the internet. I know dirtbags are cheap but i know plenty of people who would be happy to pay 100$ for an alien. and you are obviously the most experienced person left to assemble those units.
