No, obviously not according to Mr. Bradley. Giving Apex a crack in the door was Mr. Bradley's greatest blunder. He never came clean on it. The hype about the Quasar Aircraft VLJ was just allowed to fade as the scam went on. There never was a Quasar VLJ. There was only the aquisition of a dead company with very live liabilities.
