If Mr. Wyatt was a resectable business man, he would repair the damage done by this criminal Mr. Micallef, his partner. Regretably, it appears the Mr. Wyatt is an equal criminal.
It's sad that such people, people who have wealth and means, must use it to the disadvantage of others who have to work hard and use their hard-earned savings to try to get ahead, only to be taken and then have to suffer.
Worse, is the fact that these people exploit the governments of these "Third World" countries where the laws which apply to them in their own countries (USA & EU) can not be used to portect their innocent victims.
What is worse, is that these criminals will inflict themselves on other pilots. I only hope that the old adage, "what goes...comes!" is reallytrue, and that people like Wyatt and Micallef one day have this happen to them.
BTW...I think some airlines would be interestted to know that another of Mr. Wyatt's companies is in the aircraft leasing business.

Oscar Wyatt
and Douglas Jaffe backed him with $100 million. Peebles now runs Jetran International, a company with a parts warehouse in Miami the size of two football fields and a team of engineers, pilots and mechanics in Romania. Five years ago 737-200s sold for $5.5 million, $4 million more than today's prices. "The buyers look at these and say, 'This aircraft is going to last me maybe five years, and at that price, this is a good deal,'" Peebles says. .."
