[Idiot] Entrepreneur involved in Enzo Ferrari crash arrested

Looking at the events, I was thinking more along the lines of "Why didn't Luke and Uncle Jessie tell him not to do that? Cooter can't fix EVERYTHING ya know."

 

DD, Did you get to keep one of them? (the gadgets)

 

DD;

I'm guessing you never got to drive any of those sweet rides.

 

Not the Enzos, but I have a friend that has had a couple of Turbo porsches and a testarossa and a Lotus twin turbo......drove all of those for a time.

And yes, I have about 30 gizmondos......

DD

 

I want one....

 

I wouldn't mind one either. Any chance you can spill any beans on your current project?

 

Justice FTW: Eriksson pleads guilty, gets three years and a one-way plane ticket

As much as we're going to miss covering the entertaining side show that has been the life of Bo Stefan Eriksson for the last nine months, we're relieved that the former Gizmondo Europe director has finally admitted some culpability in this strange saga -- and that he'll soon be forced to leave the country and become someone else's problem. After a Los Angeles jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict in Eriksson's grand theft auto case last week -- resulting in a mistrial -- the imaginary friend-loving Swede apparently decided that a retrial coupled with the separate weapons charges would be too much to bear, and ended up receiving a pretty sweet deal from prosecutors.

In exchange for pleading guilty to two counts of embezzlement and one count of illegal gun possession, the one-time mobster weaseled his way out of an auto theft charge and ended up receiving a three-year sentence plus three years of probation -- but because of the time he's already served as well as "other allowances," he should be free in about a year. Once he gives up his orange jumpsuit, Eriksson faces immediate deportation from the US, although his lawyer has stated that the now house-less and car-less felon was planning to leave anyway (expect us to be liveblogging his bon voyage party).

The only matter that has yet to be settled is how much loot will have to be paid to the British banks who repo'd Eriksson's Mercedes and non-crumpled Ferrari, so after December 7th, ol' Stefan will be lucky to have enough money in his commissary account to afford a package of Twinkies.

 

I thought I saw the CNN ticker say he pled "no contest".

Ah well.. doesn't really matter either way I suppose.
