Looks like it's good news / bad news day for he-of-many-transliterations as Stefan Erikkson finds his bail lowered from the knightly sum of $5.5 million to the just-under-knightly sum of $3 million. That's the good news. The bad...well...the judge has ordered him to stand trial on charges of embezzlement, grand theft auto and other miscellaneous misdemeanor charges. Right, cause he totally needs more charges on top of the three counts of embezzlement and three grand theft auto charges — all of which are already felony charges. Although maybe they can make something up for the game-exec cum mafia-wannabe cum hoon and charge him with something like "destroying a super car" or "reckless stupidity." (Hat tip to Matt)

When we think of problems with law enforcement and a Ferrari, our thoughts turn to tales of Swedish mafia and chopped-up super cars on the PCH — but trust us when we say this story's totally as vile as any we've seen starring Steffan Erikkson. Cause although we've heard of some darn good fakes coming out of China — including a pretty li'l Gucci thing we once got an ex (we still don't think she knows it's a fake) — we've never heard of a fake supercar coming out of the land of low-cost manufacturing and the one-child policy. Well according to MobileMag and the video above that's all about to change — with a fake Ferrari Enzo being spotted by the trade po-po. Although we'd love to have our own Enzo for a only a cool $50,000 — we'd hate to see it go all Erikkson on us without actually being pushed off the road by an invisible McLaren.

"Trevor", or at least the guy we're assuming is "Trevor", has been nabbed by the po-po. Carl Freer, former managing director of Gizmondo (reminder: notGizmodo), was picked up at his Bel-Air estate on suspicion of posing as a police officer to buy a gun. At this point there is no connection to the Enzo crash, but if you put the dots together you'll make a pretty picture which may or may not spell the name "Trevor." Let's take a closer look, after the jump.

The story of the crashed Ferrari Enzo and video game failure Stefan Eriksson will never end it seems. The latest? A reserve Orange County deputy's .357 Magnum was found in the Bel-Air mansion of Eriksson. Discovered during a search raid, the gun is just the bit of spice this epic needs. The locals had already been complaining about the reserve deputy program so this could have an impact on local politics. Who would think a millionaire crashing his Enzo would lead to so much drama?

It looks like there's money to be made from the recent Malibu Enzo crash, and not just from putting shards of red carbon fiber and glass up on eBay. According to the Los Angeles Times, driver Stefan Eriksson and the mysterious "Dieter" (later ID'd as someone named Trevor Karney) may have been videotaping the doomed run. Cops, of course, want to get a hold of the footage, if it exists, but you just know if it does it'll turn up on deep-pocket media. Maybe we'd even give it a link. [Thanks to Thomas for the tip.]
