Agree with your post and hoping for timely resolution for those whom lost their deposits.

Ha! Sry Bryan - this episode of Jerry Springer was just getting exciting...

I hope the same - that customers get their deposits or their cars and we move on.....

60 percent of the time, it works every time......

More speculation....while your speculation might have statistical support (albeit flawed or manipulated statistics), it is still only speculation.

Do you know that Champion did not perform a background check? And if they did not, do you know if Sookrali had some criminal history that would have been revealed had a background check been performed? I'm going to assume that the answers to both of these questions are that you don't know = speculation.

I don’t need any other facts to prove my point: 1) he worked there 2) FBI statistics on criminal recidivism states that the current rate is 77%

these are facts, not speculation.

Porsche in Zuffenhausen can receive a build code- doesn't mean that Porsche itself is 'in' on anything except building automobiles.

Couldnt disagree more. FBI statistics are not facts - FBI statistics would not even be admissible for proving guilt at any criminal trial. But, frankly, I think you are arguing with the wrong person. Champion is on the hook for the deposits because he was their employee. An employer is liable for the acts of the employee while the employee is acting within the scope of his employment (respondeat superior). But, you seem to be trying to impart some further/extra liability upon Champion. Not sure why.

salesman stole money - dealer has to repay customer. End of story. Its not rocket science, nor is it new-never-seen-before-happenings. It just so happened to a popular dealer and a popular brand.

uhh hate to break it to you, but they are facts. It’s simple arithmetic, not rocket science to compute the number of times a suspect has been arrested previously. Numbers are objective, period.

Now, I’m not trying to increase or imply liability on Champion. But since you are accusing me of speculating I might as well do some of that. I will just state they probably could’ve done more screening since he was employed there.... especially as an executive (which a VP is in my mind, their website words not mine). The more responsibility a person has, the greater vetting must be.

Sooner or later this is what will happen. So easy to wire a deposit. I myself am guilty. Thats one of the reasons I give a CC for my deposit.

We are so trusting of people that when an allocation is available, we are like we won the jackpot.

No difference than a ponzi scheme. I am sure those people who got their car not to their spec probably got the cars of somebody else.

I cant wait to hear when he is caught and goes to jail.


What I am waiting on is how PCNA is going to do about it, they can deny it but they allowed this BS about flipping cars and they are part to blame.

Nah...needs another whole secret family with another half dozen kids to make it really prime material. A single mistress or GF would be bush league.

Bingo!

And I guess our dear friend "911therapy" also missed the part about Shiraaz and the 911r lawsuit. No red flags there.

Lets use your number/stat...77 percent. Is it entirely possible that sookrali fell in the 23 percent category (of a person with no prior criminal history)? You'd give me that wouldnt you? The reality is that you dont know if he did or didnt have prior criminal history. your stat of 77 percent simply says that 77 percent of people that commit crimes have committed them before or will commit again. But a criminal has to start somewhere right? They arent born with a criminal record.

And like I said before, you do not know if Champion did in fact perform a background check and nothing showed up.....thats the key fact, based on your hypothetical. My point is your level of knowledge of what champion did or didnt do is speculation on your part. Why speculate? and why does it matter? Champion owes the refunds and they ought to pony up. And most likely will. where else does this have to go?

not sure why I am in this debate...did it to myself I suppose...

I'm afraid you too are missing the point - champion is liable for the actions of sookrali. No one disputes that. What more do you want? And whats your point after we all agree as to that point?

Ha, I just realized that your "bingo" is tied to the criminal history check posted above. Please tell me you are not assuming thats the one and the same and, even if it is, that those crimes were on his record when he became employed by Champion.....Does the date of birth and social security number match? These are rhetorical questions, I know you dont have the answers.

If you are, dont dare google your first and last name under a criminal history search......

Cmon guys, you are too intelligent to rely on gossip and speculation. Especially when it doesnt matter. To anyone.
