Their is no 'Components Ltd.'. There is a 'Components, Ltd.' but it was registered in May 1997 and is inactive. Quite frankly, it would be difficult to establish and protect a business name of just 'Components Ltd.' because so many other corporations use Components Ltd. and just add a word in front of that phrase (ie - King Components Ltd.). You would have difficulty trying to trademark the name and any company doing the same type of business with a similar name could claim trademark infringement. Now these are corporations and the Ltd. implies Limited Liability. The State of New York may have a different data base for Limited Liabities that are not corporations. Here is the information for Next Components, LTD. which you listed as one of his claimed business names ?

Thanks for the link. It’s a bit finicky about commas, I see. Limited or Ltd in UK means the same thing that Inc. or Corp. here, but in most states (that I know of) it is generally meaningless but usually implies either LLC or LLP but not a corporation.

Nonetheless, at a glance, it seems that most of donations recorded are from non-existent (non-registered) company or companies having similar names to “Next Components Ltd” which was registered in 2005 (donations from “Components Ltd” started with Obama in 2004). Also, even ZIP code for existing company in the donation records is wrong - it shows 10012 instead of 10018.

Now, a guy with a degree in business from Wharton should know how to register a company if he is serious about either doing business or even doing a serious swindle. That it has not been done implies that it was nothing more than a name of company on business card and couldn’t possibly be used to catch serious investors in whatever endeavor he wanted to undertake, let alone people who had been entrepreneurs and had their own investment vehicles.

And someone of that caliber “invested” millions of dollars in a company he should have been able to check out better than couple of guys / girls / puppies in pajamas with computer keyboards did in a few hours (Internet never sleeps!). Hmmm!
