Once it dawned on 'the system' that the 'J' was going to be very late into service there was a scramble to resume the parts flow (and engineer and navigator availability) for the 'K' as it had to run on way past the OSD. So I assume it was inevitable that fraudsters would take advantage of this opportunity. I understand many parts of the blown up BA 747 in Kuwait appeared on the spares market.
