I went on their site

Evidently it was finished before all this went down.
It is a shame to hear stories like this. I think 'Chop Shop' is a little bit overkill in describing what was going on. I could see VIN swapping as a better explanation. A Chop Shop IMO would be more about modern high dollar stuff (Benz's, Jag's, Vette's, Porsche's, etc.), being cut up & parted out. Regardless, it was bad business practices for someone who obviously has some talent.
