This is the one page summary for the State Department’s July 15th, 2010, settlement with AAR International, Inc (AAR). It’s a unique successor liability case in several respects. There was no fine whatsoever for AAR. Additionally, the State Department did not include the material fact in the settlement that AAR purchased Presidential from Xe Services LLC (formerly Blackwater Worldwide). That begged all sorts of questions and expectations including the distinct possibility of a related settlement involving Xe Services and/or Blackwater for the underlying alleged violations. Indications of a significant settlement with Blackwater or its successor (Xe Services LLC) was rumored for months in an investigation that has apparently been underway for years.
