Just about eveything that is bad in the wine world is in this article. All that was missing was a 100 point wine.

Mike Steinberger posted full complaint
http://winediarist.com/the-case-against-kurniawan/Looks like most of the fraud charges are not directly about counterfeiting, but lying on loan applications (and double/triple pledging collateral). From previous cases it's clear NY Auction House is Acker, and the Financing Company is an arm of Emigrant (owned by the Milsteins).

Very good; thanks for posting. Ends up being less about Rudy than about the willingness to be fooled by people trusted to know better.
