In the largest wage-theft case ever brought by the state of California against a car wash company, Beverly Hills auto dealership mogul Hooman Nissani is being ordered to pay $2.4 million in back pay and penalties.

The state says his car wash cheated 64 workers out of minimum wages and overtime over three years.

Nissani and Shamshoni did not respond to messages left at the car wash and on personal phones. Ryan Nissani, Hooman’s brother and business partner, said in a brief phone interview: “My brother is the most honest man I know.” Car washes are among the most flagrant violators of wage laws, according to the labor commissioner’s office, along with construction firms, farms, restaurants, residential care homes and janitorial businesses — all sectors with heavily immigrant workforces.

“We have definitely appealed the citation and are waiting for a hearing,” Berger said in an email. “We deny that we cheated anyone,” he added.

Gee, took my wife's car there the other day (1st time). Tipped the guy who'd just spent about 45 seconds drying my car, $2. We chatted . . I asked him how much in tips he gets an hour. Response . . $40 to $60 when it's real busy. It was very busy.

there is a larger wage theft case brought to a car wash company mentioned in the article

He said his brother is “the most honest man I know.” That just means all the other people in his circle are thieves, liars and cheats. It’s always easier to get to the top when you step on the backs of others.

Well, well, well!!! I think it is TIME for both the state of California AND the Federal government to investigate this Beverly Hills based auto dealership mogul. I am SURE that MORE illegal crimes have been committed by him!!!
