Don't post much anymore, but this is local and no one has posted on it.
A while back on the snipershide forum a poster built up a pretty good reputation with regards to elr shooting and it spawned a new company called Hoplite Arms. Turns out it was all a scam.
Louis Corkern Jr of Enon/Franklinton area defrauded an investor and others over the course of a year or so with the belief they were developing long range rifles.
It's a long story, the partner has a done a podcast with Just F'n send it explaining the story.

On my phone so if that link doesn't work then I'll fix it later.
Basically, the dude stole someone's drawing for a rifle action. Got an investor and seemed generally interested in the project, making changes to the action over the course of a year. The even built prototypes and shot them with some big industry names.

Anyways, I don't know what's going on legally. Thought it was pertinent to this forum since it's local and probably some people know this dude.
