19-Year Old Sets Own Ferrari On Fire Because He Wanted A New One

Tyler Durden's picture




 

On October 24, 2014, the 19-year old son of a wealthy Swiss businessman walked into a brothel in the Bavarian town of Augsburg.

Although by almost any standard he led a rather splendid existence, on this particular night he had reached his breaking point. The problem: he drove a 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia.

That may look nice enough, but the issue is that there’s a 2014 Ferrari Italia, and let’s face it, no one - and we mean no one - would want to be caught dead in the vehicle shown above when the one shown below is just waiting to be driven off the lot. 

Of course this is exactly the type of situation that insurance - or, more acurately, insurance fraud - is for.

And so this young man - allegedly with the help of the Ferrari dealer - did what anyone would do in this situation: he drove to Bavaria, went to see a prostitute (one needs an alibi), and paid two accomplices $15,000 to douse the old junker in gasoline and light it on fire. 

Part of the plan worked. From Tages-Anzeiger (Google translated): 

He visited the neighboring brothel with other colleagues. Meanwhile, the two helpers poured a gasoline-nitro-mixture to the leather seats of the black sport car and set it on fire. The car exploded with a loud bang and burned out.

He even remembered to remove "the expensive specialty rims and carbon fiber parts." 

Initially, authorities came to the conclusion that the incident was retaliation for unpaid hooker fees. From 20 Minutes (Google translated from French):

Initially, the Bavarian authorities believed a settlement account in prostitution.

Yes, a "settlement account in prostitution," but security camera footage and phone records told a different story. Ultimately, investigators concluded that this was all a not-so-elaborate ploy to collect the insurance money on the way to buying the newer model. 

Asked by a judge why he had gone to such lengths given that his father had bought him 14 other cars (including a Lamborghini) as well as "several properties" worth in excess of $25 million, he confessed that although his monthly allowance (between CHF5,000 and CHF10,000) was generous enough, it wasn't sufficient to cover the difference between the 2011 and the 2014 458s and he didn't feel comfortable telling his father the truth - namely, that the 2011 458 "no longer pleased him." 

For his troubles, the young man received 30 months of probabtion and a €30,000 fine. There was no word on whether he was able to get the 2014 Speciale

So although we think the moral of the story is quite obvious here, we'll spell it out for you anyway: for anyone who thinks they're having a bad day just remember that it could always be worse. You could be driving a 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia.

Behavior such as this is eerily well described by the "beginning of oligarchy" segment of the Anacyclosis theory.

Guess this just goes to show you that money can't buy happiness. No matter what my financial situation is when my 2 year old is old enough to drive, he will be getting something reliable(and slow....) to get him to and from school and the job he will have to get to pay me for his car insurance. My parents made me do that when I turned 16, and I feel like I'm a better person because of it. The problem isn't so much an 'eat the rich' thing like the poster above, the problem is piss poor parenting, he was probably raised by very forms of hired help his whole life.

You don't have to be rich to be a spoiled little shit. I've seen plenty of lower middle class kids with a pretty unhealthy sense of entitlement.

of course they would have to burn their house down and lie about the contents to get the value.

The story we reference above is pretty incredible, get this: In an IKEA near Stockholm, an Eritrean muslim "asylum seeker" grabs a knife and murders a mother and her son, beheading at least one of them. So what does IKEA do? They remove knives from the shelves! What does law enforcement do? They rush to protect "migrants" from "the dark forces of society"!!! WOW WOW WOW. This explains a lot Eirik Marx-Leninsson, it really does. White colonialism is to blame, right?http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/08/muslim-asylum-seeker-beheads-ike...

The economy is far to fragile to chance the negative effects on the locals if they were to see this son of a rich man walking along side the road. What would they think? Is it possible they would assume the end was near? The tragedy that would befall the economy, to see stupidity and corruption incur loss and consequence. What possible hope would it leave them with?

Of course, the responsible thing is to take from the taxpayer to pay for such things that would keep the illusion of prosperity alive, for their own good...

A friend of mine had two well trained search and rescue dogs that were involved with a few lost hiker cases there. The worst cases were when too many people had looked before calling her and by then the trail was so obliterated the dogs couldn't follow it. The remains of said cases were sometimes found years later.

I kinda feel sorry for this kid. He sounds like a prieta, a hungry ghost. Destined to always get a new toy a little after he's become bored with his old ones. It's not a very happy way to go through life, no matter how many Ferraris he burns or prostitutes he bangs. Nothing wrong with being rich, but if all your fulfillment comes from stuff instead of character, you'll never be happy no matter what you possess.

And for all the people who think he needs a good beating... it sounds like his parents are the ones who need a good beating for raising him like that.

Nice one!

Let's not forget that there's millions and millions of poor people who act exactly the same way. Always buying shit they don't need on money they don't have, separated from this dumb bastard kid not in attitude but merely in the price of the toys acquired and then disgarded just as quickly.

Our sick society has become peerless at manufacturing sick people.

Both he and his parents need a good beating   -and worse. I don't feel sorry for this piece of shit slime. Save your sympathies for a couple of billion others more deserving  -start with the tens of millions of deaths, orphans and refugees we have created in the 7 countries we have wrongly invaded and destroyed since 911 to support the decadance and criminality of these evil Banksters and their families.

The new car looks douchier than the old one.

I would advise dad to cut his son off, but we all know that would never enter anyone's mind, and the kid has enough shit that he could sell it and live off the proceeds the rest of his life.

As much as I want to hate him, I feel sorry for him. The consumer life is empty because he has been sheilded from living a real life and learning real life lessons. He knows he has no chance of growing up to be an adult, he tries to fill the void with cars, and he is trapped. 

He will never know the satisfaction of being competent, of watching his work create something and pay off.

Spoiled brat, sad human. You think you want his resources, you don't.

I worked in Luxembourg for a Swiss Guy named Bertram Pohl.  Heir to the Wella fortune (swiss company makers of hair shit)..

Bertram wanted something to do so bought 3 DC-8's freighters and we used to fly freight around the world.   WE use to fly engine blocks from Luxembourg to Detroit , twice a week.

He was 40 years old at the time (1998) and if you saw him you would never know he was a BILLIONAIRE.   Bacherlor frumpy looking an always had cigarette hanging out of his mouth and ashes all over his white shirt.  I was dating a girl and once he invited us all over the bar for a drink.  My girlfriend said ,  ''who  is that dumpy looking guy'?   I said he is my billionaire boss. I watched her jaw drop.

Anyway after 3 years he kept going deeper into debt with the company and he used to call his mother down in Switzerland and she would come up in her chaufferu driven Rolls and give him 10 or 15 million to keep the business going.

Then in 2000 she pullled the rug out and said ''NO MORE"".  So he liquidate the company  (CARGO LION INC).

He did pay us a lot more than the going rates ,  I started at over 100k for flight engineer.  When the company went tits up, he paid EVERYONE off plus a nice bonuse and told us ''Sorry, I hate to do this'''.  

Best guy I ever worked for.

Of course HE will never be poor.  Last I heard he started another business ,something to do with tank trucks.

There are two known ways to create a psychopath.  1) Abuse the living hell out of the child (luckily most abused kids don't turn into psychos but some will).  2) Raise the child to believe that his interests are primary over everyone and everything else.

I was at a shallow pool /petting zoo portion of an aquarium once full of Japanese and a couple of American kids.  One of the American kids, about 9 yo, decided to pull out a pencil and kill an urchin.  The Japanese kids stood in silent horror and a couple began to cry.  When the livid staff arrived and told the kid that he had killed the animal his response was "so".  The mother then went on a big diatribe about how her son's behavior was completely exceptable because he "was just trying to learn".

I imagine that kid is staring in a mirror and has his dick tucked between his legs right now.

@MsNo - Sad story that I hated to read, but it underscores the point that the parents are the enablers. The child has no respect for life and believes there will never be consequences for his actions.

The moral of the story is that everyone is justified in whatever they do if they feel they deserve better.

Kill someone to take their shoes or burn your car so you can get a new one.

We are really grand at rationalizing and justifying EVERYTHING we do. Ultimately it is all to feed how we feel about ourselves, our self esteem as our master. As the importance of self esteem grows, so also does our psychopathic attitudes. Those who think the most highly of themselves necessarily feel every other person is deficient in comparison. Ultimately they are killers, as no other life has the importance of their own...none...not even close. Self esteem obsession is a dangerous addiction whereas contentment is the opposite. For some reason though, many can't tell them apart.

Nah man it's just the opposite. Self-esteem is just another way of saying self-respect; progressives hijacked the concept by building a worldview where self-respect (or esteem) comes from external validation, rather than internal character development. I'd say that actions like these come from having no self-respect. It's impossible to have respect for others unless you first have respect for yourself, and this kid is just trying to fill that void with pathological acquisitiveness.

More HP == more weight == not desired by me.  My pipistrel weighs about 280kg (620 pounds).

That's about 1/5 the weight of a normal car.  So in terms of HP per weight, I suppose that means my 100hp is the equivalent of 500hp... fairly adequate I'd say.  Wouldn't you?

Frankly, I'm surprised by that number!  I'm very surprised it is anywhere near that high.  So much so, that I wonder whether I made some kind of utterly stupid mistake.

However, the most important point that you may or may not have understood is... my pipistrel is an airplane, not a car.

So the only use I have for "blacktop" (as in "roads") is for emergency landings!  Hahaha.

This is an example of a good son.  He didn't want to worry his father "he didn't feel comfortable telling his father the truth - namely, that the 2011 458 "no longer pleased him.""

 

Really though - probabtion and a small fine for attempted insurance fraud.  Nice.
