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.

Looks like someone did not pay the judgement

Default Judgment is entered pursuant to FRCP 55(b)(2) in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendants Lusso Auto LLC, FMJNR LLC, and Jong Min Rhee on Counts I (fraud), II (consumer fraud), and III (negligent misrepresentation). Default Judgment is denied as to Defendant Yuki Rhee and Count IV (civil RICO). All claims against Defendant Yuki Rhee are dismissed. Count IV is dismissed with prejudice in its entirety. Defendants Lusso Auto LLC, FMJNR LLC, and Jong Min Rhee are jointly and severally liable to Plaintiff in the amount of $668,892.00, plus pre- and post-judgment interest at the rate of 4.73% per annum until paid

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

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 😂😂

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........

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.

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).

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...

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....

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.
