Some of you may remember our story about the downfall of Lamborghini’s star Orange County dealership, which was at one time responsible for selling one out of every twenty Lamborghini models in the world. Now that the court case of its owner Viken Keuylian has been wrapped up, with the crooked dealer admitting to defrauding Volkswagen Credit Inc. of between $6 million and $20 million, some strange details about his activities are emerging – including the fact that he sold a brand-new Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 for just $60,430.
