The individual you speak of didn't happen to claim to have flown a large chinese turboprop over in asia? Aussie bloke who used to be an instructor and used to look at teeth for a living prior to that?
Don't know about him but I personally know a dude with falsified hours in his logbook who used to fly that Chinese heavy turboprop and eventually crashed one.
Oddly enough, another employer hired this dude to fly another turboprop type.
