Did LoadAir go bust??

Unconfirmed rumor is stating that LoadAir out of Kuwait has gone bust.
They have 2 B744F due to be delivered from Boeing, but it looks like they
will now become "White Tails". Can anyone confirm if indeed Loadair has gone TU?

Well the two B744F are completed it seems, but have been reregistered under US markings. Will they be parked before delivery, or have they indeed
been reallocated as "White Tail" aircraft?

From Cargo Facts -

AERCAP to take two 747-400ERFs? Cargo Facts believes that in a complicated three-way deal, Ireland-based lessor
AerCap has taken over ownership of the two 747-400ERFs originally ordered by Kuwait-based startup LOADAIR CARGO
(which are currently sitting at BOEING’s Seattle facility in whitetail livery).

Air Bridge Cargo from Russia has been in talks for the purchase of both of them.

They just recently got Air Frances 744ERF F-GIUB and will be taking more soon.

So what is the latest with LoadAir? Did Air Bridge Cargo take their B744's? Did they ever start operations with any aircraft?
