Universal Express Inc fka USXP

Why is the SEC contacting the lessors anyway and what did the SEC say to them?

To determine the company's financial situation, obviously.

...could they actually stoop low enough to call potential and standing clients to inform them as to the ongoing investigation and to "inadvertantly" scare them into not doing business with USXP as Altomare has stated?

Of course they would have talked to clients, if only to find out whether they really were clients. I'm sure the SEC knows the status of that airline "acquisition".
