$500m for Fisker Auto for a hybrid
That's nice. Fisker works for Aston Martin. Fisker strikes out on his own. Tesla hires Fisker to design a hybrid sedan with Telsa hybrid components. Shortly after, Fisker enveils the new Fisker "hybrid sedan" with technology borrowed from the access to Tesla's work. Tesla sues for the $800k they paid Fisker plus damages for stealing the Tesla technology.
The feds give Fisker a $500 MILLION loan to continue development on the hybrid technology that they stole from Telsa. The feds are really paying attention, aren't they? http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/1115/calif-automaker-receives-5287-million-govt-loan/

That lawsuit didn't go so well for Tesla. It went to arbitration where it was dismissed. The arbitrator was not impressed with Tesla's claim:

Henrik Fisker is one of the greatest car designers of our time and is it not better to bet on two horses: Tesla got a 465 million dollar loan from the govt.

Well, he picked a good name for the car (Karma). If he's a thief, hopefully the name comes around and bites him in the apse.
