22 Years Of Fraud: AS9100 Suppliers BETRAYED By Boeing And ANSI-ANAB — A Call For A Class Action Lawsuit

WASHINGTON - June 2, 2025 - PRLog -- A Truthsayer-led campaign is revealing what may be the most sweeping quality assurance fraud in aviation history. Over the past 22 years, thousands of AS9100-certified aerospace suppliers—many small to mid-sized U.S. businesses—have unknowingly been trapped in a system of deception orchestrated by Boeing, ANSI-ANAB, and international accreditation entities with disturbing ties to foreign governments. With mounting evidence, QA expert and industry advocate Daryl Guberman is calling for a class action lawsuit to hold accountable those who misled and financially strangled compliant suppliers, while evading their own quality obligations.

A Timeline of Deception: 9/11, Layoffs, and Supply Chain Reprogramming

It began in the shadows of national tragedy. On September 19, 2001, shortly after the 9/11 attacks, Boeing publicly announced it would lay off between 20,000 to 30,000 employees—a devastating blow to its internal capacity for oversight and quality control. https://money.cnn.com/2001/09/19/companies/boeing/

Seven months later, in April and July 2002, Boeing issued supplier notifications indicating a major shift. These bulletins outlined that Boeing would only visit suppliers "if need be" or "if the need arises." Instead, Boeing began outsourcing quality control responsibilities under the guise of efficiency—claiming that by requiring suppliers to send certifications and parts together, the company could reduce "redundant inspections." This paved the way for a surveillance-based certification regime rather than genuine on-site verification.

The Rise of NADCAP & the Takeover by Remote Certification

In April 2002, Boeing collaborated with the Performance Review Institute (PRI) to expand and entrench the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP), targeting special processes like welding, heat treatment, and non-destructive testing (NDT). This program was implemented not as a quality booster but as a procedural and financial chokehold on suppliers—many still struggling post-9/11. The NADCAP regime forced companies to comply with highly bureaucratic oversight systems, disproportionately burdening smaller firms.

Meanwhile, the IAQG OASIS database—a platform originally intended to serve aerospace quality transparency—became increasingly controlled by Boeing itself. The company could now verify AS9100 and ANSI-ANAB certifications with a keystroke, eliminating the need for physical audits and enabling selective enforcement of standards.

Hidden Hypocrisy: Boeing Was Not AS9100 Certified

Despite mandating AS9100 compliance for its entire supply chain, Boeing itself did not maintain AS9100 certification from 2002 through 2024 https://aviationweek.com/air-transport/safety-ops-regulation/boeing-plans-seek-as9100-certification . This hypocrisy became undeniable when, in July 2002, Boeing Commercial, issued a supplier bulletin requiring AS9100 compliance from vendors—while the company itself was never  certified to the very standard it enforced. For 22 years, the aerospace giant shirked the requirements it imposed on others.

Suppliers were never informed of this contradiction. While they paid tens of thousands in audit fees, corrective action plans, NADCAP surveillance, and OASIS database maintenance, Boeing remained outside the system it demanded others obey.

This raises serious legal questions regarding:

• Fraudulent misrepresentation
• Unjust enrichment
• Deceptive trade practices
• Contractual coercion

Thousands of small- and medium-sized businesses were coerced into costly compliance regimes with the belief that AS9100 was universally required—when the top OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) had opted out quietly and unethically.

Boeing's Legal Exposure and Supplier Damages

Boeing's conduct—demanding AS9100 compliance while not being certified themselves—may constitute fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, and potentially racketeering under RICO statutes (18 U.S.C. § 1962). Suppliers relied on Boeing's misrepresentations in good faith, investing heavily in certifications enforced by a body now shown to be riddled with conflicts and compromised international oversight.

The damage includes:

• Decades of inflated certification costs
• Exposure to foreign surveillance and data theft
• Reduced audit protections due to reliance on digital verification (OASIS)
• Regulatory deception enabled by federal/private collusion

FAA Delegation: Boeing Becomes Its Own Certifier

In 2009, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) granted Boeing unprecedented authority to self-certify its own aircraft, technologies, and designs. This included the now-infamous MCAS system that was directly responsible for the crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, which killed a total of 346 people.

Boeing was also allowed to appoint employees as FAA-authorized inspectors, even though these individuals were full-time Boeing staff drawing salaries from Boeing. In practice, this blurred the line between regulator and regulated—making the Boeing CEO a de facto FAA administrator. The results were catastrophic, proving that self-certification without oversight is a recipe for disaster.

Federal Complicity: DHS, DOJ, Department Commerce & FDA on ANSI-ANAB Payroll

The corruption extended beyond the private sector. In 2017 (IAF was being watched over by Communist China), while ANSI-ANAB were being advertised on the official website of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for "special certifications," federal employees were sitting on the ANSI-ANAB board while receiving dual compensation. For instance:

• Phil Mattson of DHS received $262,000 from ANSI-ANAB, in addition to his federal salary.
• Gordon Gillerman of the Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) collected over $120,000 from ANSI-ANAB while representing the U.S. government and his federal salary

The Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) under NIST, operating in all 50 states, used both state and federal funding, with up to 64.85% of funds directed to management and personnel, leaving little for actual manufacturing support. A former MEP employee revealed internal discussions where money was funneled between nonprofits in ways they jokingly referred to as "money laundering."

These arrangements violate multiple federal laws, including:

• 5 C.F.R. § 2635.702(c) – Use of public office for private gain
• 18 U.S.C. § 209 – Supplementation of salary from a private source
• 31 U.S.C. § 1341 (Anti-Deficiency Act) – Unauthorized obligations of federal funds
• False Claims Act – For fraudulent representations to obtain or retain government funds

A Deeper International Threat: Chinese Involvement in Global Accreditation

Perhaps most alarming is that the International Accreditation Forum (IAF)—incorporated in Delaware and founded by ANSI and ANAB—is closely entangled with foreign actors, including those from the People's Republic of China. A Communist Chinese national, Xiao Jianhua, who served as Chief Executive of the China National Accreditation Service (CNAS) Beijing, has been involved in U.S. and international quality systems since 1994.

Notably, CNAS certified the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) as a BSL-4 facility—despite U.S. documentation showing that the lab was not ready and lacked properly trained staff. Six months before certification, internal reports noted WIV's lack of readiness. Six months after, U.S. specialists confirmed those concerns remained valid. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/03/08/josh-rogin-chaos-under-heaven-wuhan-lab-book-excerpt-474322

Meanwhile, ANSI-ANAB remained full members and underwriters of both the IAF and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), based in Australia. These two organizations include national and international accreditation bodies considered legally equivalent to ANSI-ANAB, and ANSI-ANAB's underwriting role means they bear full legal responsibility for systemic and product failures across this global network.

Due to China's 2017 National Intelligence Law (Article 7), any Chinese-accredited body can be legally compelled to share data with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), including information flowing through internationally "recognized" certification pipelines.

The Legal Case: Breach, Fraud, and National Risk

From economic coercion to regulatory fraud, the evidence suggests that Boeing, ANSI, ANAB, and their federal accomplices conspired to enforce a fraudulent quality regime. Small businesses were extorted through certification programs Boeing itself did not follow. National security was compromised through global partnerships with hostile powers. Federal laws were potentially broken by dual-compensated officials and conflicts of interest.

Suppliers who held AS9100 certifications between 2002 and 2024 may be entitled to compensation for:

• Fraudulent misrepresentation
• Contractual coercion
• Economic damages under antitrust and RICO statutes
• Federal torts under the Tucker Act and False Claims Act
