Default Top Gun Enterprises?

Now that Randy "Duke" Cunningham is going to prison for a long time, I am
wondering what has happened to his memorabilia company Top Gun Enterprises.
Does anybody know about it? I cannot find a website.

The company was used by Cunningham to launder money from a defense
contractor, so I doubt that it is still in business.

Thanks. That's quite interesting. A couple of things I get out of that:

-the website only sold two products, Cunningham's book, "Fox Two," and a
very expensive knife.

-Cunningham claimed that the business was worth $500K to $1 million.

There is no way that you can get those kinds of numbers with only two
products, neither of which is all that pricey (does anybody think that
Cunningham could really sell over a thousand knives a year?).

All of that leads me to think that the primary purpose of this "business"
was to help launder the money he got from bribes. He had people write big
checks to his company, and could claim that they were for products
delivered.
