Gizmondo still sucks.

Post by NES_fanatic »

You now how when a major corperation totally fails, the higher employees, executives, and CEOs usually go crazy and may end up running a life of crime?
You'll know well what I may mean if you've seen "Fun with Dick and Jane" Well the point I'm trying to get across it that, well, our friends at Tiger working behind the Gizmondo have got the same case of bankrupcy fever. Read 'em and weep (with pity):

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Former Gizmondo executive Stefan Eriksson went flying off the road in a Million dollar ferrari enzo at over 160 MPH. The car was totally wrecked and all he walked away with was a bloody mouth. (reminds me of triton)
The LA Times reports that Eriksson was taken into custody Saturday night after a 6-hour search of his gated California Bell-air estate. Authorities say that Eriksson's wrecked Enzo, as well as another Enzo and a rare Mercedes Benz were actually owned by foreign financial intitutions. They also found a gun that didn't belong to him.

It gets better!

Ther cars were reportedly purchased by Eriksson last year while he was in britain, but the title holders tell police that he made no payments on them.
Now he's got the following three charges: grand theft auto, embezzlement and possesion of a firearm.

If convicted, our friend faces up to fourteen years.

More coverage on this is available at Wrecked Exotics. It also made Slashdot at least four times since February.

Then it's the Video Games Show's fault; they put it in their "news".

That's understandable, there were updates at the end of last week.
