Im not sure if i'm understanding you correctly, are you implying that the RI AG would be 'duped' along with the customers? In this kind of situation, where numerous people were frauded(word?) I seriously doubt that the AG would take NATA's word for it. I would think they would do a full scale investigation. Would they not? And if this explanation is just bullsh|t, im sure they would find out.
So I think maybe if you contact the AG office, you certainly could find out the truth behind it.
