STFU if you think any evil corporate accounting department would approve that as a legitimately necessarily evil expense. CEOs, evil or otherwise, hate using their own personal money & try to put as much as they can on the company dime; their compensation packages often include a company car & driver. Evil CEOs in particular would be directly headed towards making this car either their "car of choice" for compensation purposes (DOA in evil accounting) or trying to have the company aquire the car for ostensibly other reasons, then using their magic CEO powers to make certain it's only they themselves that can access the vehicle. While the last option sounds genius, that's the type of misbehavior that gets future CEOs (again, evil or otherwise) to claw back competition from prior executives; which happens all the time, but hey, what's an interest-free 7 figure loan among evil executives?
