AOG Technics is a deep fake company
Public filings in the UK reveal that AOG Technics was founded by Jose Alejandro Zamora Yrala in 2015. Besides allegedly fabricating documents for aircraft parts, AOG Technics is accused of creating several fictitious LinkedIn profiles, purporting to be company executives.
Further investigations into Yrala’s filings expose his involvement in two other UK companies: Kensho Group LTD, a real estate company, and Sunwave Solutions, an e-commerce vendor.
Kensho folded in January 2023, and Sunwave Solutions appears to remain operational. A close examination of Yrala’s filings reveals a trail of typos and shifting corporate addresses, some leading to coworking spaces in London and the offices of a retired accountant in West Sussex.
