Porsche NA needs to start cracking down on these Porsche dealers who are screwing over their customers.
I've been reading too many stories lately about Porsche dealers stealing money or screwing over customer pre-orders because the dealer is greedy and run their Porsche dealerships like a cheap used car lot.

Saw that - unreal that Champion and/or PCNA isn't IMMEDIATELY making these customers whole and then themselves dealing w/ future litigation.

The guy set up a shell company with a similar name to accept deposits.

There may have been some other Champion employees involved and some have argued the dealership should have known what was going on but the reality is, this was a rogue employee who was essentially embezzling.
