Bo Stefan Eriksson, the former head of the European operation of the Gizmondo handheld game console, has been sentenced to 3 1/2 years in jail.

Mr Eriksson was sentenced by an LA court after pleading guilty to charges of embezzlement and drunk driving.

The charges came out of a police investigation into a car crash which destroyed Mr Eriksson's rare Ferrari.

Mr Eriksson's multi-million dollar home has been seized and he will be deported once he has served his sentence.

What a moron. Drink driving, and in an Enzo!

As they say, more money than sense.

I remember this guy, the day I had the 360 decatted I was at the garage and they were apparently sorting this guy out another number plate cos his one burnt out on the back of his Enzo and had just got pulled over up west.

Driving through west end that evening with the new De Cat and what pulls up behind me at some lights?? Yep, the Enzo, couldn't hear him though Gave it full De Cat spitting flames action, shame I didn't burn his front plate off!!!

Apparently the rear ones are prone to getting very hot from the heat generated at the back, well that's what I was told anyway.

If you search for more info on him, there is a very strange and interesting story behind this incident and his life as a whole.

What wheels are they? They don't look stock.

And looking at his career - that's quite something!

How do these people get at the funds that they destroy? I mean who in their right minds backs a company that picks a fight with Sony and is headed up by this idiot?
