If there's one thing the media LOVES to do it's, humiliating the rich and famous when they slip up.

Nothing against you Alient or you others either (great avatar BTW Alient) but,
In that article from the last link, and all the other articles it seems, they have no right to call his device crappy, and the law is just as bad. Grand theft Auto, since when is not paying your car loan Grand Theft Auto in the UK (and that’s where the loan was taken, I gather). It’s not. The police are using this to arrest him, as usual it won’t stand up. There are too many police, and not enough brains. No wonder they never get convictions. It’s a circus.
Then, just because his wife doesn’t have a US drivers licence, they say she is driving without a licence. Talk about twisted. She has a UK or Swedish licence no doubt. Millions of people drive without a California licence or whatever everyday. Disgustingly thin excuse for stopping the Merc, because she may not have a licence. Ridiculous. If the car has UK plates on it, of course she doesn’t have a Cali licence! And if the car still has UK plates on it then it wasn’t imported of course! Man, these guys are grasping at straws.
The car that drove by while they were towing the Merc was carrying this week’s shipment of drugs for the local kids. What about stopping that?
Oh, it’s reported stolen to the UK cops. Reported, how can we trust what these rags say? It probably was not reported stolen, just defaulted on payments. I don’t know the facts, but obviously neither do the reporters OR the cops and they should. They are just groping in the dark.
Other charges: the blood on the airbag? Why keep bringing this up, are they getting desperate or something? It will never stand up, he can say he climbed out the driver’s side. Confusion from the crash.
This type of reporting is irresponsible.
How would you like it if you had an accident and the press turned it into a circus? It happens and its very irresponsible reporting, if you can call it reporting. This is how witches ended up being hanged and burnt.
The more they keep this trash reporting up, the easier it will be for him to brag about it later. And profit from it.
Then at the end they say the 3 cars were purchased by the company!
Of course they were purchased by the company, everybody does it like that for gods sake. So why arrest the guy then?
I’ll bet this thing just goes away. They have nothing on him, and that child rapist a few miles away is not being chased.

Gizmondo exec, Stefan Erikkson, has certainly made a lot of news lately and it has nothing to do with his crappy, kidney shaped portable media device. In the latest turn of events, Eriksson has been officially arrested and held without bail on suspicion of grand theft. Get the full scoop, after the jump.
The charges come amidst two events that happened over the past few months. He was involved in an accident where one of 399 rare Ferrari Enzo’s was wrecked into a light pole at well over 150mph and ripped in half. Eriksson’s blood alcohol test registered well-above the legal limit, but he claimed that another man, named Dietrich, was the one driving and then fled into the woods. Dietrich was never found.
More questions began arising just a month later when a $600,000 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren was seized by police when Eriksson’s wife was stopped in Beverly Hills on suspicion of driving without a license. The car had been reported stolen to London’s Scotland Yard.
Eriksson was officially arrested for failing to make payments on three sports cars that were imported to the U.S. from Britain. Other charges may be added pending DNA tests and further investigation including DUI and fraud for the business venture that the three sports cars were purchased on. He is also being held without bail because of his questionable visa status. Arraignment on this case is expected to begin this week.

If I buy millions of dollars of anything and I get a loan from a bank and they put a lien against these items we both own them. Once the bank is payed off then I own them. If I default on my payments then the cars are no longer owned by me and they transfer to the bank, If I then take them out of the country I am stealing them. Seems pretty simple to me, believe me he knew he was breaking the law and deserves to be prosecuted. He then further compounds his problems by making false statements to the police about a mystery driver.
The guy was legally drunk driving a car at speeds that were taking other lives at risk and nearly killed himself and a passenger. There is no excuse for this type of driving on public roads especially if you have been drinking, It seems quite obvious that this guy doesn't have any respect for laws, but I am betting that he will very soon! This guy should and will go to jail if you want I will make a wager with you on his outcome.
He pissed off the wrong guys and is going to pay the price. Your comments about the drugs in cars and rapists getting away are unfounded and ridiculous. Do you really think that this guy didn't do anything wrong?
