You may remember Gizmondo founder Stefan ‘Fat Stefan’ Eriksson. He’s the guy who crashed a $1 million Ferrari, claimed a mysterious German man named Dietrich was the driver, identified himself to the police as a Deputy Commissioner for the counter-terrorism unit of a handicapped bussing service and apparently had a group of employees identify themselves as Homeland Security at the scene of the crime and tamper with evidence. There’ve been many other wrinkles, but who can keep up? ‘Fat Stefan’ is a highly entertain lunatic.

A highly entertaining lunatic who’s now been arrested for the theft of that very $1 million Ferrari he crashed. Apparently, the Red Ferrari in question was illegally imported, along with a black version and another $500k sports car. They had all been leased by his former company, Gizmondo. and financial instutions are claiming ownership.

We have no idea how the wrinkles of this Gizmondo-CEO-turned-Uppsala-Mafioso’s court case will shake out, but if the investigation itself is anything to go by, it should be about as entertaining as a locomotive filled with dynamite colliding with a space shuttle. We’ll keep you posted.
