Private Jet Fraud: Are more indictments coming in the JetLux case?

One private jet charter operator force posted nine transactions for more than $440,000 over a span of over five weeks while another posted fraudulent charges more than three months apart

In the recent indictment against private jet charter broker Tomer (Tom) Osovitzki covering his tenure as CEO of Jetlux, the names of all of his alleged victims, including 15 different private jet charter operators and at least one National Basketball Association team were redacted.

While indictments often redact names to protect victims, they also redact names of persons or organizations that may still be under investigation and could be subject to future charges.
