When the whole "SP files for chapter 7" thingy happened, I was told that when it all played out it would be very confusing. I guess that was true.Comment

I'm doing some digging on WhiteHats LLC. Does anyone know what state they're based in? I'll pull their incorporation papers and see whose names are on them. That stuff is public record.
The domain is registered to Domains By Proxy, which seems kinda shady, but it's just a service offered by GoDaddy, and people use it a lot to keep their name from being public and searchable by bots and spammers and stuff.
68 Caliber.com is registered to PBC Productions in New Hampshire. The administrative contact is Steve Davidson and the technical contact is Karen Davidson.
Those names are not familiar to me, nor is PBC Productions. Google isn't much help.
EDIT: I was not familiar with 68Caliber.com but I guess they're just a paintball news site? probably not connected with WhiteHats.Last edited by factoid; 08-20-2010, 01:01 PM.Comment

I did an LLC search in PA and saw the listing for Keystone. i think they are just a company that rents out office space though. They were listed as an address foe some reason. i couldn't much else on them.Originally posted by d4m4don3
Are the guys I think are behind Whitehats though. They seem like middlemen that take companies on short term.Comment

The info in the 68caliber.com post says whitehats was founded this year. It's not the Illinois group if this is the case.
Whitehats website leaves EVERYTHING to be desired.Comment

Well that's already a little suspicious considering Smart Parts is operated out of PA as well.
edit: Here is the PA corporate registry entry on WhiteHat Solutions. This is registered last month in Allegheny, PA which is about 40 miles from Smart Parts corporate address.
It's not "White Hats LLC" but it isn't a stretch. This is the same entry that lists Keystone Corporate Consulting as the address.
I can't find a good entry for that, but it's likely that's just the leasing agent for the building. Notice the % signs in the name...that's usually a good indication of improperly formatted database records.

Are the guys I think are behind Whitehats though. They seem like middlemen that take companies on short term.
That URL is for a Florida company, though, not PA. And they're a high tech corporate investigation firm. They're out to find fraud, embezzelment, corporate espionage. As bad as we think Smart Parts might be, I dont' think they rise to that level of intrigue.
Besides, we get to them by search the PA registration database for "White Hats LLC" and then find "White Hat Solutions LLC" which then leads to a florida company of the same name. That's a few too many degrees of separate for me to have much confidence in.Comment

The info is all over the forums, except I didn't see it on PBN... someone on CC said it was deletedAug 20: PaintballX3 Magazine has learned today that a company called White Hats LLC will be announcing today that they have reached an exclusive arrangement with Smart Parts Inc's creditors and will be acquiring all of the company's assets, including machinery, finished goods and intellectual property. We have heard that White Hats will continue to produce and support the popular Smart Parts line and will be actively engaging in intellectual property licensing. We've also learned that 68Caliber.com will be serving as White Hats' official media outlet.
