Looks like Vlad sells diamonds and watches at ECJ. https://ecjluxe.com/ and https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/new...ectid=11829488

Is that possibly a [Ma]raj credit card on top?

^^^ BINGO. Looks like one of those pictures taken a club and posted on Instagram to show off how bling, bling you are. Assume Mitra Maraj (Dave's son and in charge now) rather than Dave. Mitra and Shiraaz were like bros. Probably out partying with Bobby the jeweler.

Ironic Shiraaz got sued by AMEX for almost $200K in unpaid bills.

Overall, just bizarre that it's being used as clip art. Don't think it says anything more than that other than enforces Shiraaz's lifestyle going back a long time.

NEW ARTICLE. "When a likable salesman goes rogue".

They have some new quotes and info here. Old mugshot of Shiraaz Sookralli from 2010 or 2011. His likability seems to go back a long time.

Looks like Broward County Sheriff's Dept 2010 or 2011. Charges unknown at this time related to this photo. I'm sure public record if someone were to look. Shiraaz Sookralli

Late to the thread. Shiraaz has disappeared but what about his family? Are they gone to?
Also where's Naveen? Is he still running Motorsport?

Criminal complaints filed, now the system will move forward, local and federal warrants (federal=Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution, if he crossed state/US boundaries and even wire transfers or banking violations, could even result in RICO violation, Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) should follow in time.

Lots of investigative work, will need interviews with victims, friends, family, co-workers, employer, plus sworn statements, track the paper trial, issue subpoenas and so on. However, if a good lead on whereabouts comes in, probable cause affidavit/warrant could be obtained quickly.

The hunt begins.

Interesting details about the previous litigation. The guy should have been fired. That appeared to be the start of the latest scam.

Guess Champion did not do periodic background checks.....how this guy stayed out of jail is amazing - hats off to this criminal......

Maybe investigation into owners death needs to be ramped up or revisited if closed to see if any funny business involved....

what a character this guy was...whoa..

Yeah, let's let this guy not only work in sales but handle GT allocations. But but the owner must have been a class act so why would we point the finger at Champion?

This guy sounds like a real winner in life. Is this how all Porsche dealers vet their high-level employees?
