Ernst Lieb assumed the roles of President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA on September 1, 2006, replacing Paul Halata. He was removed from the position, effective immediately, on October 18, 2011 for spending more than $US100,000 of company money to upgrade his American home which was owned by Mercedes at the time.[2] Lieb sued the company in Germany for wrongful dismissal, but lost the case.
