I'm quite glad the Mods haven't closed this thread yet, I believe as long as it is kept polite etc then it can be resolved.

The main concerns are trust here, a man felt it was safe to send a $4k plane on the proviso that the payment would be made. In the UK we're a little bit tighter with our money and large transactions we usually say 50% payment first and 50% upon delivery. The buyer is definately worming out of this and I don't feel it's necessary for people to be vouching for a class of character as 3 months is purely unacceptable. No excuses gents, $4k in this day and age is a large sum of money to people. If civil enforcement is involved this can get very expensive for Freddy so I would take this whole thread as a hint that the money needs to be sent (unless he's since spanked the money on other items). The jet needs to be returned to a neutral party who will hold it until the mess has been cleared up. If Freddy cannot prove the money was sent / cleared then it needs to be returned.

At the end of the day, you don't just wonder into an Apple store and take a new iMac or Macbook Pro and tell them you're going to pay for it later, this is not how consumerism works is it?

If you were to take out a finance plan and you defaulted on your payments then the bailiffs will be knocking at your door so under no reasons should Freddy be treated any differently. Period.
