In this case I think it is relevant (his inconsistency about his financial motivation), as it speaks to Ali’s credibility.

BTW, I don’t mean this comment as a defense of Hennessey in the slightest.

Jason, the fact that a guy dropped $70,000+ a Corvette+Shipping+Delivery+Registration in Qatar....and now needs that money urgently, is weird...

So no real issues in decades as far as ‘general business practice issues’ save one guy from a foreign country that has conflicting stories about a company that you have reviewed first hand as having no out of the ordinary issues and then you post this story?

One part of this story states that Ali needed the refund for medical bills and to pay off loans.

The reason this is a thing is because, well, it's a thing.

If we’re naming this scandal can we please call it Wastegate?
