Michael Gonzalez reportedly managed to trick Elon Musk’s Tesla into handing over five brand new electric cars without paying a dime, just the beginning of his scams involving the cars, but now he is paying for the electric vehicles in a different way — with a jail sentence of four long years.
In a particularly brazen act, when Tesla failed to provide a certificate of ownership for one of the cars, preventing him from obtaining a title, Gonzalez took the vehicle to the frozen surface of Lake Champlain, set it ablaze, and attempted to claim the loss with his insurance company. This act of insurance fraud was what ultimately raised red flags and brought his scam to light.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Vermont detailed that Gonzalez pleaded guilty to five counts of possessing and disposing of stolen vehicles that had crossed state lines. His sentence includes four years in prison, followed by three years of probation. Additionally, Gonzalez has been ordered to pay $493,043 in restitution to Tesla and another $231,900 to the United States government.Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman Says U.S.
