FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Bruce Springsteen’s drummer, Max Weinberg, is suing the owners of a Florida car restoration company, saying they stole $125,000 by falsely promising him a like-new 1957 Mercedes-Benz and then using his money for personal expenses.Weinberg is seeking $375,000 from Arthur Siegle, members of his family and their Investment Automotive Group Inc. in a lawsuit filed Sunday in Palm Beach County. The Mercedes-Benz 190SL roadster they claimed they could deliver had significant damage and rust, and they knew it could not be restored to like-new condition when they took Weinberg’s $125,000 deposit almost three years ago, according to the lawsuit.A subsequent law enforcement investigation concluded that the Siegles used little or no money from Weinberg’s deposit on restoring the car, but instead paid off credit cards and made deposits to personal accounts. No criminal charges have been filed.“I guess they figured he’s Max Weinberg, million-do...
