This has been covered in the UK, where the receivership of Gizmondo is proceeding apace. The Enzo apparently belongs to RBS who have been endeavouring to repossess it.
Sadly, doing a runner after an accident gives the lawyers enough leeway to negotiate a meaningless settlement, most of the time.
In this case, Erikssen is likely to be deported for US visa violations and failing that, SCO in the UK is likely to apply for his extradition to face fraud charges. However, whilst the UK has enacted legislation to facilitate the extradition of suspects (without evidence) to the US, the US has been slow to enact such legislation, despite agreements to do so.

More info on that $1 million Ferrari Enzo crash that happened on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. As has been widely reported, Stefan Eriksson, the former executive officer of Gizmondo was the passenger (or more likely the driver) in the crashed car. More and more details are emerging as Spong.com says they have talked to some investigating officers who said that the speed of the car may be have been 162 MPH. It is expected that Eriksson will likely get away with a slap on the wrist paying a comparatively small fine. There are also questions about whether Eriksson owned the car. According to paper work, the Bank of Scotland had repossessed the vehicle and Eriksson may have shipped the car to the U.S. to avoid giving it up.

I guess it just goes to show that some people who drive Super Exotics can also be behind in their car payments.
