According to the Florida incorporation database, a man named Sayfullo Saipov started a company named SAYF MOTORS. Much of the information that comes up under that name is in Russian.

The name Saipov appears to be of Kyrgyz or Uzbek (former Soviet Union) descent.

It is unclear whether the name is Sayfullo Saipov or Saipov Sayfullo, as the latter is used in an arrest document from 2016, but the former was reported by ABC.

He appears to have had a warrant for failure to appear in court due to a traffic offence.
