Μετά την αναγκαστική άδεια που πήρε ο Dany Bahar, η μητριική εταιρία της Lotus, η Μαλαισιανή DRB-Hicom, ανακοίνωσε ότι ο Βρετανός απολύθηκε από την θέση του CEO της Lotus λόγω πειθαρχικών παραπτωμάτων, με τις φήμες να μιλούν ότι ο Bahar χρησιμοποιούσε χρήματα της Lotus ώστε να ανακαινίσει τα σπίτια του.
Την θέση του διευθύνων συμβούλου του Lotus είναι ο Aslam Farikullah, ενώ η DRB-Hicom, αν και το αρνείται επίσημα, συνεχίζει να ψάχνει ώστε να πουλήσει την Lotus.
