Nissan parts manager sells $575,000 lift kit on Facebook
A dealership employee's daring scheme turns a trusted character into a $575,000 scandal. Proceeds from the sale of fraudulent lift kits were directed to personal PayPal accounts. The employee responsible for the fraud will be sentenced in federal court on December 12. Parts managers at local dealerships rarely become the focus of federal fraud cases, but this one certainly breaks that pattern. What started as a small side job for Robert McLane, the former director of parts and service at Formula Nissan in Barre, Vermont, evolved into a $575,000 initiative that could land him a job. 20 years in prison. Is he suspected of committing a crime? Dealer funds were misused to stock lift kits and flip them privately for a profit, while Formula Nissan unknowingly paid for them. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106 -c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8"); } else { adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f"); according to automotive newsMcLean, who was hired by Formula Nissan in…
