Mitra was definitely a weird guy, I used to work there and he would often ask me sexually explicit questions and try to put his hands on me when he would call me in his office. Once we took a shot of some whiskey he had in the fridge in his office he then told me about how he would give me a monthly salary if I became one of his “girls” and I would have to be on call for him. I also heard he was a very lavish spender in the clubs in Miami. He invited me and my friends several times to LIV and said he always got a table. I never went.

Thanks for the post and following here. Your summary is pretty much in line with the information I've started to get in. Some will think you're making it up, but I know you're legit by the info. Post a few more times and you'll be able to private message. We should chat and sorry for your exposure to that.

Ohhh Lord, this is something that makes you join and pay (likely a DEPOSIT) get it $$ in order to get some criminal listing. This page is likely hogwash to make you pony up funds. Kinda like paying over MSRP and making some huge deposit on a GT car because you're a "preferred customer". What a bunch of poopie.

I think it's like 4-5 posts you can get private messages. Post a few things and you'll be all hooked up. Maybe a few things like how you heard about this? What article you saw? Assume you had interactions with Shiraaz? Just don't give anyway any personal info on the board here to maintain your anonymity here. We can message tomorrow.
Thanks again for finding Rennlist.

It seemed to be a well known fact at the dealership. What we don't know is why he finally cracked and took the cash and ran?? Seems to coincide with Dave Maraj's (Champions owner) mysterious drowning death.
Slipped and hit his head while boat was docked at the Boca Country club. Police called at 2:15am in the morning! More questions than answers.
I hear the investigation may have been reopened. I need to confirm that.

I hope some more people step forward to help frame the whole narrative here.

mysterious deaths are coroners cases, most aren't that smart, most don't care too much and most of them don't spend csi type efforts in their investigations unless pushed, maybe we'll discover more, who's chilling on their boat alone at 2 am?

Check five12free's post above. He is the one that said a background check needed to be performed. I didnt suggest that, I was just using his words.
I do not know much (really anything) about the 911r issue. Nor do I care - Champion is on the hook for the deposits. So I do not see a need to dig deeper into the well. If the customers are made whole, that ends the matter Some folks seem to want to be made whole AND extract a pound of flesh...for something that didnt happen to them.

At this point everyone at PAG in Germany has read about this including executive board members. Trust me, Klaus Zellmer at PCNA has gotten some calls.
Having Porsche's name associated with this story isn't good trust me. They may not have any liability for Champions actions, but their reputation literally "comes along for the ride" regardless. This isn't the kind of PR they like.
This isn't he same as the 911R "mark up" free hype coverage of the past.
