Mosley Warned By Ecclestone Two Months Before Orgy

According to The Times, Bernie Ecclestone warned Max Mosley, "that people had been hired to discredit him and that they had been given an unlimited budget to do so."

Former NASCAR Official Sues For Rampant Discrimination, It's Worse Than You Think

Former NASCAR Technical Inspector Mauricia Grant is suing the racing organization to the tune of $250 million, citing some pretty extraordinary examples of racial, sexual, religious and downright ridiculous discrimination. In a 40-page legal filing made in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Tuesday, Grant claims that, on many occasions, other officials referred to her as a "Nappy Headed Mo," "Mohammed," and "Al Queda" as well as exposing their penises for her inspection. We doubt that was included on the roles and responsibilities portion of her offer letter. Seems NASCAR now has its very own Don Imus/Max Mosley scandal. [WBIR]

VW chairman Bernd Pischetsrieder told German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung that the network, allegedly set up to garner contracts from VW, is larger than he and prosecutors at first suspected. At the center of the investigation are close aides of former human resources head, Peter Hartz, who resigned last month. Allegations also include fraud involving the company's works council — the labor-management relations board used by many European companies — including the use of council funds for vacations. More »

Justice Department Investigates Mercedes in Alleged Bribery Scandal

The US Justice Department must not have read Jeremy Clarkson's excellent defense of bribery, apropos of VW's recent sex-and-bribery scandal, or they'd likely reconsider going after Mercedes for what may be similar offenses. (See also a more academically inclined defense by Pierre Lemieux.) The department's investigation was launched after a former Chrysler accountant alleged in a lawsuit that the company kept dozens of secret bank accounts from which to ply foreign dignitaries in Africa and South America. We thought those was called "counsulting fees," but then again, we live across the river from New Jersey. More »
