David Delgado, a supervisor at Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel, managed to scam the dealership out of $1,000,000 over the period of three years. That's 30 C300's, 15 GL320's or 10 CL550's, before TT&L. He did it by adding extra hours to temporary employee's timesheets and pocketing the money himself. He also created fake temporary employees and transferred all of their earnings to his bank account. The money was used to make mortgage payments (it's not a cheap part of the country live in), home repairs and purchase computers.
Thanks to his less than super-vision, Delgado will be spending up to 18 months in federal prison and will have to pay more than $1 million back to the company. At a Mercedes Benz dealership in the OC it apparently takes them a while to realize a $1 million goes missing. We can't imagine this guy bilking more than $800 out of a Suzuki dealership in Memphis.
