a spokesperson for the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles confirmed two corporations with the same owners ran an illegal import ring, and revoked 400 foreign-market vehicles titles.... among them? 87 Nissan Skylines, 27 Supras

On March 7, Andres Diaz and Nicole Chiong were arrested in connection with the fraudulent imports of 348 vehicles between November 2014 and October 2020. Both Diaz and Chiong are listed as corporate officers of both J-Spec Garage and Soho Alliance. These are noted as the two offending organizations on the investigation report from the FHP, along with Soho Imports, which is the trade name under the Soho Alliance corporation.

The charges against Diaz and Chiong allege that the duo committed fraud on 348 vehicle titling applications. This means they may have used a fictitious name or address, or made a false statement in the application, as well as the bill of sale associated with the vehicle. Both arrest reports show 40 counts of falsifying a bill of sale, 40 counts of uttering forged instruments, and more than 50 counts of identity fraud.
