When Mercedes-Benz USA fired its head of operations, Ernst Lieb, earlier this week, without giving any reason, the Internet started boiling with speculation. However, it seems that now we have a reason for the carmaker’s decision. According to the Wall Street Journal, the executive has allegedly used company money to pay for personal actions.
For examples, Lieb allegedly used company funds to pay for having some work done at his home in the proximity of Mercedes US’s Montave headquarters in New Jersey - a home that had been bought by the company.

However, this is just one situations, with the aforementioned source offering multiple examples that seem to show there was no way back for Mercedes once it put everything together.
