[RiverDave]

Weirdly the 50’ MtI center console was just delivered, and now it’s getting towed out of there..

Looks like the Lusso auto salon truck out front..

Baller problems!

 

[hallett21]

Was this the one you were alluding to a few weeks/months ago? another fall from grace?

 

[attitude]

No idea who owns it but it is currently MTIs profile pic on IG, looks like there is a matching cat that goes with it.

Got to be more to the story, that MTI is worth triple what that judgement is for.

 

[FlyByWire]

Can’t wait to see this hit Orchids and Onions

 

[Englewood]

Seems odd for feds to raid a house for a civil judgement.

 

[Done-it-again]

damn, window tinting and wraps pay well....

 

[NoOtherWay]

Mo money, Mo problems.

 

[ChrisV]

Group chat is poppin. Not sure if it’s true or we’re all just assuming.

 

[JFMFG]

Crazy man. Seems like so many seizures for tax fraud, dirty money, screwing people over. Hopefully the story isn’t true of the Chinese mafia

 

[MonkeyButt70]

These high end auto places that specialize in sales or accessories always end up in some kerfuckul. Easy way to play the shell game or launder money. My spidey senses inform me to avoid these places and people....

Majority of the super car shops in OC.

There is a picture out there of a large safe that was rolled out and put on a bed of a tow truck...

100% agree, more to the story.
Buying toys with stolen money is never a good idea

 

[HB2Havasu]

Another PPP Loan gone bad ???

 

[havasujeeper]

Ho Rhee Shit!

Why is that the case? I have one of those shops down the block and the wife and I always thought it was a front. Funny this popped up.

 

[boatpi]

A birdie told me last week money laundering x1000.

 

[rivergames]

I heard their primary jobs were working at the China Garden in Parker!

 

[cofooter]

Looks like they caught a whale! Probably all sorts of lower level thugs/fraudsters these days throwing down big wads of cash for houses and toys as well........

 

[EmpirE231]

So do these raids usually happen by surprise, or does the guilty party usually know this is coming down the pipe.

Well there were rumors of this happening weeks/months ago on here. So someone leaked something.

College roommate works for the FBI in Arizona. Just sent him a text and asked if he was in Havasu today. Got a thumbs up.

Over beers once, he stated he has done surprise and scheduled raids. Usually depends on crime. When they are scheduled with notice, locations are under surveillance from date of notice to see if they can catch someone moving stuff.

Kind of like an onside kick nowadays!!

 

[CLdrinker]

Seeing shit makes me feel good about being poor.
Atleast I don’t have to look over my shoulder everyday.

 

[FROGMAN524]

So where can I pick up the 50 for cheap? .gov auction?

 

[Mikes56]

You can’t make that kind of money honestly.

 

[Done-it-again]

PPO money

Shit, never heard that one before.... I need to get some!!!!!!

 

[Havasu blue label]

Shit need to put my glasses on

 

[J&k beer can]

this is the court case..

Thus, on or about January 11, 2022, Plaintiff purchased a 2022 Rolls Royce Black Badge Cullinan with a specified vehicle identification number from Lusso Auto and hired Lusso Auto to install several upgrades, including installation of the body kit. (Doc. 1 at 2). Lusso Auto invoiced Plaintiff for $668,892.00 for the purchase and upgrades. (Doc. 1 at 2). On January 13, 2022, per Defendants' direction, Plaintiff wired $590,000 to FMJNR as an initial deposit. (Doc. 1 at 3). Plaintiff then received the Rolls Royce and returned it to Lusso for installation of the upgrades. (Doc. 1 at 3). On March 8, 2022, Plaintiff wired FMJNR the remaining $78,892 owed. (Doc. 1 at 3).

The Rolls Royce was never returned to Plaintiff, though, and a CARFAX report shows that “Defendants hold title as a ‘personal lease vehicle' and not as owner.” (Doc. 1 at 3). Plaintiff alleges that Defendants never owned the Rolls Royce, nor were they licensed automobile dealers authorized to engage in the marketing and sale of vehicles. (Doc. 1 at 3).
On October 24, 2022, Plaintiff filed for entry of default against Defendants, who have not appeared in this action. (Doc. 11). The Clerk of Court entered default the following day. (Doc. 12). On November 29, 2022, Plaintiff filed the instant Motion for Default Judgment seeking treble damages in the amount of $2,025,921.00, taxable costs in the amount of $952.00, and pre- and post-judgment interest. (Doc. 13).

Is it another MTI owner? I sense a them lol

 

[RiverDave]

That MtI is closer to 5 times the amount of the judgement..

Should be noted already have people dm’ing me asking for more information as they are owed $$

I don’t know anything more than what was posted here..

It is on several fb pages as well etc..

[mbrown2]

600k does not seem like much if they purchase toys like they do....but if they are acquiring such toys and real estate through racketeering then likely there is no real substance in their portfolio of assets...

500s must demand a shit ton more money than 450s.

Car stereo shops are the worst. Seems like evertime i have gone into one I feel like they are run by some mafia or mob.
