He paid over $750,000 to have two people k*lled. Then he went to Google and left a 5-star review.
Erik Maund ran a family automotive empire in Austin, Texas, built by his grandfather across multiple dealerships. He was also married. When a past encounter with a Nashville es**rt named Holly Williams surfaced, her partner William Lanway started sending texts demanding money, threatening to go public.
Maund didn't negotiate. He hired Gilad Peled, a former Israeli Defense Forces member running an Austin security firm called Speartip Security Services. Peled brought in two ex-Marines. On March 12, 2020, Holly and Bill were sh*t multiple times and left in a crashed white Acura in Nashville.
Maund's review of Speartip: "They get the job done in an expedited time. Couldn't imagine using anyone else."
An appeals court has since reinstated his conviction for conspiracy to commit m*rder-for-hire.
