Are these folks still in business ??
That man died last year of prostate cancer. I imagine his business of ripping people off is dead too.Eight seconds into this video, the name of the guy who has done all these FANTASTIC claims for electric rotorcraft is heard. Need one believe anything further after that?
Ernie Boyette wrote here on the RWF how shortly after purchasing the Dragon Wing rotorblade business, That person defaulted on his contractual payments to Ernie (RFD).
Search for further info re: Luminati defaulting on another contract: a huge complex to a New York municipality.
No just heard it was undiagnosed and stage 4 when found so he didn't last long.Mike: Any references to his demise?
Sounds just like politics, don't you think?What is it about general aviation which attracts these charlatans? Outrageous claims, followed invariably by broken promises, bad debts, and no production.
For a supposed businessman, w/ all these fantastic claims of having revolutionized the flying world, his atrocious spelling & grammar in the "rouse" fake letter above really takes the cake. U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E!View attachment 1159514

When I was a young man, early into my first business, an older chap wanted to join as a partner. He struck me as a smooth talking liar, but I'd nothing conclusive. I consulted my father, who gave me some great advice: "If you get a whiff of bullshit, then there is probably a big pile of it out of sight around the corner."
Many of Dan Preston's victims could have saved themselves a lot of trouble if they'd tried to confirm his bona fides:
"went to college at age 12"
"aeronautical engineer"
"120 patents"
"Zuckerberg invested $46,000,000"
Such things could have been checked out, but apparently were not.
Bingo! Dr. Hare's book is excellent, thank you for mentioning it. Children should be taught early on how to recognize the signs of a psychopath.Should be on everyone's bookshelf.
Read it, before you get financially or emotionally involved with ANYONE..
1 in 20 may as well be a different species to human.
