Sentencing delayed for O.C. Lamborghini dealer

September 28th, 2009, 1:54 pm · posted by Matt Degen

A sentencing for former Lamborghini dealer Vik Keuylian that was scheduled for today has been postponed until March, according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesman and Keuylian’s defense attorney.

Keuylian, who owned Lamborghini dealerships in Santa Ana and Calabasas, pleaded guilty in May to a wire-fraud scheme in which he bilked $12 million from Volkswagen Credit Inc., the finance company that fronted him the money to sell the cars.

(See full press release from March detailing the case.)

“There was a stipulation filed between us and the defense filed back in July,” said Thom Mrozek, public affairs officer with the U.S. Attorney’s Office. “It just got delayed, and that’s a pretty common occurrence.”

Keuylian’s new sentencing date is March 29, 2010. He faces up to 30 years in prison, plus a $1 million fine.

Keuylian, left, of Laguna Hills, is currently free on bail. His attorney, Craig Wilke, declined to comment on what his client is currently doing, the reason for the delay, or what is happening to the defunct Lamborghini dealerships.

At an Orange County gathering of Lamborghini enthusiasts two weeks ago, Pietro Frigerio, Chief Operating Officer of Automobili Lamborghini America LLC, said the company is “doing everything possible to bring (an O.C. Lamborghini dealership) back,” but cited “interesting and challenging legal proceedings” regarding Keuylian’s case.

Concours d'Elegance at the St. Regis

Letter to our Concours Supporters

Several of our supporters have expressed concerns about the future of the Concours at the St Regis Resort, our site for the October 4^th 2009 Concours d’Elegance. The Concours volunteer team felt it important to remove any confusion and clarify the program for the 2009 event. As reported in the press, the mortgage holder Citicorp has repossessed the property. However, the property continues to be managed by Starwood, the entity that the Concours has always worked with. Since the only feasible use for the property is a luxury hotel, we do not foresee any threat to the long-term viability of our event.

Since this time in 2008, the Concours has been working with the City of Dana Point and Starwood to create a truly world-class event. That work has continued during the most recent confusing times. In fact, the City has granted us access to Sea Terrace Park, which is immediately adjacent to the golf course. This 20-acre addition has enabled the expansion in the focus of the event to include great cars from 1950’s through to the present.

The Concours has been expanded to include added cars for the judged classes. In addition, the program will include a display of approximately 30 “Super” cars, displayed in Sea Terrace Park. We have also invited local car clubs to join us in separate corrals where cars will compete for awards conducted by peer judging.

The 2009 event on October 4, promises to be an event with wider interest, more and varied displays, with the traditional, grand classic cars, some of the new, very exciting and marvelous cars of automobile engineering and arts, and a chance for club members to bring their very best cars to show to their friends and enthusiasts.

Finally in order to encourage attendance we have created a VIP ticket ($150 in advance-$175 at the gate), which includes access to the Committee Tent and brunch in the St. Regis. General admission is $30 in advance-$35 at the gate. Full information is available at nbconcours.com.

We look forward to seeing you on October 4, 2009 between 10am-4pm

Bruce Junor, President
