Multiple name changes, fake credentials, dubious friends, history of non-compliance. All this adds up to something not good.

I have my own theory of what happened here but it's no more valid than anyone else's speculation. I will say that my hat's off to you guys that deal with this airspace down there. I haven't flown in the LA area for over 40 years (and only for a couple of days of operations) and it didn't remotely resemble the pinball machine it does now.
