RUDY KURNIAWAN & GLOBAL WINE AUCTION FRAUD THREAD (MERGED)

[Jim_Anderson]

bank wiring instruction should have been an immediate red flag.

So, you’re saying it definitely was not Ray Walker?

[Gareth_Welch]

Wherever he lays his hat.

FYI, yet another show to feature RK. ABC is producing a prime-time show called “The Con” not sure when it will air but they have started working on the Rudy story.

Just heard back from one of the producers, looks like March airdate. Maybe Don has more details?

[Updated] Yes, sometime in March. The final date is not set. Right now the best guess is Wednesday March 24th or Wednesday, March 31st

Given that Rudy has been released, will this documentary feature any interviews with RK himself?

Rudy has not been released. He is still in ICE custody in New Mexico and not eligible to be interviewed by the news media.

How separate worlds collide.
Irv Goldman, CEO of Acker Merrall, worked with me at Salomon Brothers, where he repo-financed my bond trading positions. Later, he ran the Interest Rates Trading business at Credit Suisse First Boston, where I was responsible for monitoring his market valuation risks.

Don,

do you think this ABC documentary will be on youtube some time?

Don,

I don’t know Jurgen. The ABC network is owned by Disney, and I think Disney is fairly protective of their broadcast rights.

Don, I assume you were interviewed extensively for this program…or did they primarily use archival footage? I’m suprised (but pleased) that this story merits another documentary. I thought it had been pretty much fleshed out, unless the aim is just getting it to a wider mainstream audience.

Should we anticipate any new revelations?

Bruce:

Yes, I was interviewed extensively for the program, but I haven’t seen it, so I can’t be sure about the overall content. I did provide some additional information during the interviews but most of the details have been discussed here previously. From what I understand, the ABC documentary will attempt to give a much more accurate picture about the different phases of Rudy’s rise and fall – particularly what happened after the Ponsot auction (April 25, 2008) and before the Spectrum/Vanquish auction (February 8, 2012). The producer of the show, Cara Scaturo, is extremely thorough, has absorbed an immense amount of the relevant details, and has spent the better part of two years working on this.

I understand that many of the same people that you saw in Sour Grapes are also included in the documentary and maybe a few that you didn’t see before.

If wonder if this show will note the unsung enablers to this odious deceit, like John and Allen.

If a bottle of wine smelled like those actors, it would be a DNPIM.

I strongly suspect that John Kapon/Acker and Christie’s will get some likely unwanted publicity here.

[bruce_curfman]

Thanks, as always, Don! I can’t wait to see it aired!

[Jerry_Hey]

Thanks, Don. I’ll be watching.

Will Allen “BurgHound” Meadows rate the show, if he deems the contents genuine? No reason to question, of course.

Allen Meadows, Burghound.

On and on about Allen. Give it a rest already. Everyone knows what you think by now.

As for posters here about Acker, John, and Rudy also.

Jurgen:

I found out that beginning the following day (so Thursday, March 25) you can stream the show on the ABC website. Watch The Con TV Show - ABC.com This documentary is part of the new ABC documentary series called “The Con.” They say the shows are also available on Hulu if you’re a subscriber to Hulu.
