Perhaps those are really more like cease and desist orders?Claims to have received orders!

This is an ongoing scam that needs to be shut down once and for all.
I would say dozens of pictures and the never-ending false claims of sales etc. Surely the ones behind it have grown tired of the joke/fantasy by now and/or grown up and left their bedroom.Stavatti has been a joke for 30 years. Dozens of designs and lots of claims but little to back them up. The only real aircraft they ever could present was the Javelin, and it was not a Stavatti design in the first place...
Their F-28 design is named the "Illusion", while their F-36 was called the "Avatar"... that alone should have raised some eyebrows! What are they on, anyway? Their SM-50 provides the answer: it is called the "Lotus Eater II", and we all remember how Ulysses and his crew lost his mind when he ate that stuff!!!I would say dozens of pictures and the never-ending false claims of sales etc. Surely the ones behind it have grown tired of the joke/fantasy by now and/or grown up and left their bedroom.

You would think. But Beskars has been at this for nearly 30 years. I think it started as a bit of a game or fantasy, but the stuff happening near Niagara now is straight-up fraudulent.

10,000 foot view summary:
An angel investor is suing them.
The investor and Stavatti signed a promissory note for $1m, which required Stavatti to repay it etc.
Stavatti, though, says it was not actually the CEO of Stavatti that signed it. It was another employee, impersonating the CEO and forging his signature! Therefor, Stavatti argues, it is not obligated to repay, and it's not their fault!
The investor filed suit, his lawyer sent a summons. Stavatti did not respond. Stavatti says they got the summons, hired a lawyer, and the lawyer said he would take care of it. It did not get taken care of. Surprise! Stavatti says "The lawyer turned out to be about as real as our airplanes!" He was not a lawyer at all and misled Stavatti, so it's not their fault!
....etc.
Stavatti is apparently quite a a few different companies in different states and countries, many of which are listed as parties to the case.
Luigi Colani never committed fraud and as much as his work seems to offend you, and you seem to have an illogical disdain for "designers" of all types, he was trained as an engineer as well as being an artist. Lumping him in with the Stavatti nonsense is absurd.Perhaps we should suggest a business association with Colani, another Italian-sounding joke of an aircraft designer?
I have never called Colani a fraud, nor even alluded to anything of the sort. His work does not "offend" me so long as people see it for what it is: the musings of an artist. What "offends" me is that he can be presented as an aircraft designer, when most of his aircraft designs range from the awkward to the grotesque. As to his training in engineering, it's of little significance here: despite the fact that there is a common root of knowledge to all engineers, an engineer specialized in building bridges, for instance, may have little knowledge in the science of flying, aerodynamics, material fatigue in altitude or in acceleration, and so forth.Luigi Colani never committed fraud and as much as his work seems to offend you, and you seem to have an illogical disdain for "designers" of all types, he was trained as an engineer as well as being an artist.

Yes. Reading further down the article, I see that they are actually claiming that their export sales are classified (!) but also delayed due to DoD being too busy with Ukraine and Gaza. Funny that regular exports for other things seem to be moving along as usual. And the CEO claims to be meeting with DoD officials, but I very much doubt that's true.
I think the local authority is starting to get a clue, extending their tax subsidy only 90 days instead of a full year. Hopefully March will be the end of things.
Stavatti Aerospace has run out of time for its ambitious plan to build military and commercial jets at a vacant military hangar in Niagara Falls.
Three and a half years after approving tax breaks for the plan, the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency on Wednesday refused to extend the subsidies for Stavatti Aerospace Ltd., after concluding the project just wasn’t getting off the ground.
The rare move by a local IDA came after the project had already received multiple extensions since winning its first approval in October 2020.
It also came despite executives saying they had just received a $600 million letter of intent from an unnamed “U.S. ally” for Stavatti to retrofit 16 older Soviet-era airplanes with updated U.S. parts – the latest similar claim by a company that has yet to actually produce a plane. The March 20 letter is not a formal or binding purchase contract.
trust but verify. DoD should have risked a bit. The DCMA could have rooted out scams pretty quick. for the sake of the industrial base survival w/ a bit of redundancy, small aerospace companies need to be thrown little bones and see if they can perform .. full gov capture will tank innovation. We are getting closer to full capture like the adversaries we are allegedly against. unwise to even attempt to be innovative beyond toy garbage being thrown over transume for the current unmanned market let alone the manned stuff. Noone is going to beleive anything that isn't at least taking off and landing in some low scale like the BWB from Jet... out in California.
