Looks like he was using money made from OC Lambo to pay off BH Lotus debts:

Orange County Lamborghini dealer to plead guilty to wire fraud
12:34 PM | March 11, 2009

An Orange County man, whose car dealerships accounted for about 5% of all Lamborghinis sold worldwide, has agreed to plead guilty to charges of felony wire fraud and faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison, authorities announced today.

Viken Keuylian, 45, of Laguna Hills, allegedly schemed Volkswagen Credit Inc. out of at least $12 million, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice. The financing company gave him loans to purchase the luxury vehicles. He is scheduled to appear in federal court in Santa Ana on Monday.

Keuylian owned Lamborghini of Orange County and Lamborghini of Calabasas, which have now both closed. Under his agreement with VCI, Keuylian was loaned money to purchase cars that he put on his lots and for each car sold he "was obligated to pay back the money loaned to purchase that specific vehicle," authorities said.

Keuylian allegedly deceived VCI by telling them the cars he had already sold remained on his lots. But, in fact, he had misappropriated that money to pay-off other expenses, including business debts connected with a vineyard and a Lotus car dealership in Beverly Hills, authorities said. In one incident, authorities said Keuylian sold about 54 luxury vehicles in October 2008 for less than he owed VCI for each car. VCI loaned him $12,560,314 to purchase those cars, but Keuylian received only $8,163,275 from the sales, and authorities said none of the initial loan was paid back.

SoCal dealer charged with Lamborghini scam

Published: March 11, 2009 at 3:36 PM
SANTA ANA, Calif., March 11 (UPI) -- A high-end Southern California sports car dealer has been charged with bilking his financing company by not reporting sales, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

Viken Keuylian, 45, Laguna Hills was charged Wednesday with wire fraud in connection with millions of dollars borrowed to pay for expensive Lamborghini cars that he sold out of his two Orange County lots.

The U.S. Attorney's office in Los Angeles said in a written statement that Keuylian, whose sales accounted for 5 percent of the Lamborghinis sold worldwide, would plead guilty in Santa Ana federal court on Monday.

Prosecutors said Keuylian allegedly borrowed millions of dollars from Volkswagen Credit Inc. to pay for the purchase of the cars he sold out of his dealerships in Orange County and Calabasas. The loan agreement required Keuylian to pay VCI back whenever he sold a car.

Keuylian was accused of selling cars and then failing to report the sale. He allegedly used the money from the loans to pay off unrelated business debts.

The FBI seized some 54 vehicles worth more than $12 million in the investigation, including some Bentleys and other high-end cars.

Man, we got screwed by losing our local dealer...

Bavarian Motorist · 03-11-2009, 01:23 PM

I'm glad it's finally getting resolved. Volkswagen is a very large company but it still pains me to see them and everyone else involved screwed so badly.

Stormy320 · 03-11-2009, 04:32 PM

Not very good judgement on the part of Lotus to abandoned South Bay Lotus and jump into bed with this guy.

I love Lotus, but that decision really hurt the so cal Lotus fans and proved to be a bad idea.

Don't jerk your good friends that will always support you.

Wow, sounds too much like the story that ended up with a wood-chipper.

But in their defense, this was really about the guy who was picked to run LCU (and was friends with the owner) and he was replaced by Arnie who worked to make things right again. The bad decision was fixed. And it is not that many at Lotus did not know a mistake was made. It just took time to get sorted.

I think the other dealerships are involved in this scam. Take a look. Newport Collectibles, Art Auto. I guarantee that it gets sold to these dealers, then these dealers sell them to public, and under the table, the profit is split into two...

I agree, but in the end Lotus still has to take the heat. It was a bad decision, but whoever put the guy in charge "to run LCU" should be held accountable.

I'm not trying to grind an axe with Lotus, but hasn't poor dealer decisions plagued them for years?

They really had something special in SoCal and it's senior managements job to recognize this and listen to the troops. Lotus has still not recovered from a dealership perspective from the loss of South Bay.

From a customer perspective, everything was working. Good sales force, great location and facility, and the expertise of Qais.

Randy Chase · 03-11-2009, 07:12 PM

Can't disagree with any of that. But the guy who put the guy in charge is also gone. Mike Kimberly was brought back at Lotus and Arnie was put back at LCU.

I know Arnie really feels bad about the South Bay thing.

Sorry to have to disagree with you Randy, but Mike Kimberly put the guy in charge who made the deal to bring in Lotus of Beverly Hills. This led directly to South Bay deciding to give up their Lotus franchise.

I'm glad things are starting to work out but the consequences of the decisions taken during those times are still being felt at LCU and by Lotus customers. I'm very glad Arnie is back at LCU and I hope they do well. I just wish I were there to be part of it.

I guess Beverly Hills sounds better than South Bay.

Oh. I thought it happened before Kimberly. But I am losing track of the people. I do remember some of the guys at Hethel saying that they figured that the LCU guy must have compromising pics.

Yeah it hard to keep track. There have been a couple, umm ... how do I say this politely, inappropriate leaders at LCU since the Elise came to the U.S. I'm glad the right guy is back running things. I wish I could have held on until he made his return.

But the guy who put the guy in charge is also gone. Mike Kimberly was brought back at Lotus and Arnie was put back at LCU. I know Arnie really feels bad about the South Bay thing. __________________ * V E R I T A S * A E Q U I T A S * No Longer the ADMIN here, please do not PM me asking for help. Thanks! 2006 Noble M400.
