Seems the car they raced is up for sale at Macari's in London for 320k Euros

This guy was also an exec at Nintendo rivals Gizmondo

But the company lost £140M last year after sales of only £1.4M, and have recently gone into liquidation :roll:

A bit of an all round dumb-fucker - especially for his story of the driver :bah:

If the impact is at the front portion of the car, I think you will think otherwise.

that doesnt seem logical... a company can go bankrupt without causing its owner to owe anything himself... unless his contract states so... that sounds less likely to me

this guy sounds like a moron, he probably stole the compnay's money on lavish things such as Enzo's, businesses are going to become much more accountable for their executives spending, I even wonder if there was a 'Dietrich', more than likely not, all the police have to do is test his blood against the blood on the driver's airbag and voila, it will prove whether he is telling the truth or not.

That's a bit of a swooping statement

Remember, that his salary and bonus is agreed upon by the members of the board in the company

I'm sure he was fairly wealthy before getting the job at Gizmondo

And the losses were on salaries of 28 (or was it 58?) staff and programmers. There was huge investment, but no return as nobody bought the product.

A moron - yes.

A thief - no.

A bit naive to think the isn't a conman of the highest degree and "obtained" money through fraudulent means.

It seems that dishonesty and controversy ave followed him everywhere.

I am betting the next thing that will surface is tax evasion in the countries he "made" that money.

Sorry - indeed, the guy is a crook

He owed Halifax Bank Of Scotland (HBoS). They were the titled owners of the Enzo and have lost their £600k worth of car - i don't get why they didn't go after the cars sooner :roll:

He had the SLR and the Black & Red Enzos shipped to the USA before HBoS could reposses them for reasons in the article below

More shit on the faudster here :arrow: http://news.spong.com/article/9700?cb=514&cb=82

Yes, part of the Swedish mafia in fact

"Malibu police are waiting to re-interview Stefan Eriksson, a member of the so-called "Swedish Mafia" who were at the helm of the hi-tech firm which it is claimed blew millions of pounds of investors' money on fast cars and pop stars, after his $1m Ferrari Enzo was written off during a high-speed road race."
