According to former Carvana employees, HyperSport Industries, an automotive reconditioning contractor, benefited from Carvana’s rapid growth with its “shady” dealings, including stealing from Carvana and submitting duplicate invoices and kickbacks, Forbes’ John Hyatt reports. All those who spoke with Forbes named Daniel Serna, Carvana’s former director of inspection center development and expansion, as someone they suspected was involved, but the publication notes that it found no evidence that Carvana, its C-Suite or its controlling shareholder Ernest Garcia II knew about the allegations by former Carvana employees. The former employees allege that HyperSport was controlled by a Carvana manager or his associates and that as a result, HyperSport was “incentivized to push through duplicate invoices to Carvana and skimp on buying its own supplies.”
