You're joking, right?

Isn't it too early for April Fools' jokes?

We are not sure who disappeared?

As far as the branding, lol. This RedStreak has insider info, but who knows who he/she really is.

They are both listed as part of the various legal papers.

Google his name. Pictures all over. Wish more people would come forward. Probably don't wanna talk.

His people and acquaintances including himself are likely following RL here.

Hi Shiraaz

Nice find. Missed the link there.

We do not know at this point.

We do not know these women's involvement other than being listed as agents in Shiraaz's shill companies in the lawsuits.

So given that everybody and his dog knew this Shiraaz guy was olympic gold medal in womanizing, was the wife cool with it? Was she in it, too, maybe? (that would be awesome and provide an opportunity to revitalize this dying thread).

Oh yeah. Being pressured by an employee who is listed as V.P. Of Marketing of Champion Porsche isn’t remotely like being pressured by Champion itself. Not in the slightest...

If by break you mean "the first mass media to pick up on what members here did (including yourself)" then yes, he was the first to break it. I just feel that it was the members here who really broke it.

Yes, my reading comprehension is fine...I saw the attribute.

To the customer, it's Champion.

To Champion, it was SS.

Big difference. I've had people who worked for me poorly represent the company we worked for before. That's not what I as the manager nor the company ownership would condone. But people are people and it happens. Maybe Champion knew about it and didn't care. Maybe they knew nothing about it. But we don't know the answer to that, do we....???

Liability falls on Champion 100%. He was an employee of the company and was working and representing their organization when defrauding customers.

Champions liability is to the defrauded customers. Up to them to go after Shiraaz like they have. Customers have nothing to do with that.
