12fly,
Nice piece of detective work (how much time have you spent searching?). You are, probably, just another FMS "seller" upset about abundance of low-quality FMS cables on eBay...

Regarding FMS cables "I" used to offer on eBay. They were all made by my friends in the Ukraine (really high quality, lots of good modeling stuff is made there), and my wife was selling these cables under my name. All the profit went to my friends - $100 a months provides a decent living in that poor country.

Regarding my credentials. I hold MS in Aerospace, PhD in Solid Mechanics and another PhD in Mechanical Engineering, a dozen publications in scientific magazins, etc. If you have nothing better to do, you can look at my rather outdated home page here:

Good luck "investigating". You may also go to FMS official forum and reveal me there. I've been posting a lot of my findings on FMS cables there.
