Goncz Titanium Knife / Flashlights

Not open for further replies.
This reminds me of back in approximately 1985 - 1987 when an agency decided to provide high output rechargable lights to personnel. The bid notice went out and contractors (including Streamlight which most individuals desired or purchased out of pocket) submitted their offers. The bid process ground on and a previously unknown company received the contract. The lights were issued with much expectation and within a very short period of time it was discovered that the rechargers were overheating, the batteries did not seem to take a thorough charge, and there was one reported episode of a battery that exploded during charging. The lights were recalled by the agency and Streamlights were purchased and issued. It was found that the new/mystery company had established the manufacturing in Mexico and that by the time the malfunctions were discovered the company was out of business and the purchase was a "black hole affair". Seems that coincidently one or more upper level chiefs/assistant chiefs (caps deleated on purpose) retired at about the same time the decision had been made to make the large agency purchase and they had established the "new" company that "made" the questionable lights.
 
Just for info, I doubt that you will hear much more from Mr. Goncz. Seems that the "multi million dollar investment" includes using a residence telephone number with no manufacturing company associated to it. Have any of the honorable members to this forum ever heard of a Berj Apelian, an Alireza M. Dehrani, or an Adrian Goncz? I think that anyone who believes that he/she has been taken advantage of in dealing with the evasive Goncz (et all) should seriously consider a complaint with the LA DA's office, the US Postmaster Inspectors office (if the US mail was used for any portion of the transaction), the investigation division of the LA City business licensing division (they will be interested in tax due related to sales) and proper business licensing, the California State Board of Equalization (also interested in tax due regarding any California sales as well as his necessary sales tax permit fees), and... need I go on from here?

This seems to end on a very sad, sad note.
 
Man, Stu, you got the info!

I'm sure if/when Goncz appears again you be first on his "list" to deal with.
 
What the heck is "over/under"
Click to expand...

Tom-

You're KILLING ME.

Not for nothing, over/under= you bet, either side of a given number, whether the result in question will be "over" or "under" that agreed upon number.

Most often seen in football betting, total number of points scored in a game. The over/under is, for example 30 in the Jets/Dolphins game. Will the two teams score a combined 30 or more points? Yes?Take the over. No? The under.

OK? You're the goods.

Was just in Flemington today. Nice area. I'm in Madison.
 
Stu,

I reread your posts, so what are you saying this whole goncz person character is just a big scam?
 
Dave:

It's difficult to buck the facts Bro. I would imagine from what I've read that he would like to try but when dealing with something like this I ALWAYS keep something in reserve. I've just provided some factual info to help shed (I know, I know) LIGHT onto this subject and to help anyone (including Goncz) to get this obvious problem straightened out. I hate to see anyone taken advantage of and hey, isn't "people helping people" what it's all about?
 
OK I got yah, a google search on the phone turns up as Berj Apelian.

Maybe Berj is his business agent or something, heh.
 
I do not know if he is "scamming". No proof of that yet. However I would say that if I was going to purchase a piece of equipment like this, I would want to know the manufacturer, source, etc. just for my own safety.
 
Thanks for the info, I appreciate your help in clarifying these issues.

I did a google search on 619 Lankershim Blvd. and I get a bunch of hits, sounds like an office part, maybe industrial, lots of weird movie production listings.
 
Now your on it! And that is just the beginning of the proverbial puzzle. More info to follow if needed.
 
Jeeze, it takes me a bit, so now I understand what you're saying about the mailboxes, etc.

All those porn production companies and etc. etc. all have the same address but a different box #.
 
Most IMPRESSIVE, Stu!
It amazes me what inquiring minds can ferret out.
Now can anyone tell me what forum to sign up on to see the next installment.
Thanks mikeD60

Excellent detective work. I verified through whitepages.com and reversephonedirectory.com.

But what I want to know is which lab he used. ;)
 
Thanks but actually just regular detective work. Nice web sites David. Not my source but I am glad that someone else was able to independently verify some of the info. In any event, the most important thing here is that I would not want to recommend equipment, to anyone that might need to use said equip. in a real sitiuation, that cannot be completely relied upon. With what was clearly a thinly veiled attempt at self promotion as well as "markateering" via the forum, I have more and more doubts about this product. I will most likely check assitional sources to verify the alleged Govt. contracts mentioned earlier.

All the very best regards to all of you Gents that desereve same.

Stuart
 
David:

That is close to waht I anticipated. I reread your earlier post re: the address. Just for info the address on the website is 5619 Lankershim and yes that area of N Hollywood is primarily industrial. Most of N Hollywood is for that matter but it can be impressive as an address if someone wants to "pose". And yes, there are quite a number of "interesting" film companies/"studios" throughout the valley are. I might also check some sources in the film industry to verify the movie prop claims as well.
