A West Hollywood man allegedly hosted a high-end, private event at a Santa Barbara hotel to offer selected guests the chance to purchase luxury vehicles at highly discounted prices.
But according to Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s detectives, the West Hollywood man was operating an elaborate scam, collecting tens of thousands of dollars from victims.
Jonathan Tudor was arrested at his home this week. Investigators reportedly seized more than $250,000 in luxury goods purchased with money from the victims.
None of the promised vehicles was ever delivered.
Tudor was booked on more than 60 felony counts, ranging from grand theft to financial elder abuse.
