James Andrew Wellesley, of the UK, will serve a 10-year prison sentence and must pay $1M in forfeiture, following a $100M Ponzi scheme involving a fake wine company. He was sentenced April 20.
Wellesley had two prior convictions in the U.K., both related to financial fraud. He was extradited to the U.S. last year to face justice for his investment fraud scheme.
Wellesley and his partner posed as executives at Bordeaux Cellars and raised nearly $100 million by promising investors regular interest payments from high net worth wine collectors. This scheme targeted nearly 140 individuals located around the world, including 71 people in the U.S., 21 in the U.K., and 10 in Hong Kong.
ICE HSI was proud to be a part of the FBI-led team that investigated this case.

You make us all look bad honey 😑
Not every Canadian is a dumb libtard like you and some of us (the intelligent ones) are strong supporters of President Trump
Take a break, breathe
It's going to be ok
NEWS: new info on the WHCD shooting suspect, Cole Allen, from the White House. I'll be talking with President Trump about all of this in 30 minutes on @SundayBriefFNC
The suspect’s written manifesto clearly stated he wanted to target administration officials. He also had a ton of anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on his social media accounts.
ALLEN's brother had notified New London PD (CT) of ALLEN's alleged manifesto he had sent to his family members prior to the incident.
Secret Service and Montgomery County Police interviewed Avriana Allen, ALLEN’s sister, at their residence in Rockville, MD. The following highlights from the interview:
•Allen said her brother had a tendency to make radical statements and his rhetoric constantly referenced a plan to do “something” to fix the issues with today’s world.
•Confirmed ALLEN purchased two handguns and a shotgun from Cap Tactical Firearms and kept them stored at their parent’s home and that their parents were unaware that ALLEN was keeping the firearms in the home.
•ALLEN would regularly go to the shooting range to train with his firearms
•ALLEN was part of a group called ‘The Wide Awakes’
•ALLEN attended a ‘No Kings’ protest in California at some point
Les présidents qui font de grandes choses sont ceux ciblés par des attentats, dit Trump; «ce n’est pas vrai», affirme un analyste

@erik_thorvalds Guess you didn’t see Trumps interview on CBS… he stated on live TV he wanted to crush the Canadian economy to force Canada to join the USA.
The USA doesn’t want a trade deal.
The American trade talks are going to fail.
The Americans are going to unilaterally pull out of USMCA. (Yes, they can do that)
Canada is in deep, deep trouble.
They don’t realize what is coming.
The saddest, most pathetic part is that it has all been 100% self inflicted.
Donald Trump EXPOSING Mark Carney
Mark Carney is NOW CORNERED
Liberals are acting like disobedient children. They think Canada has ALL the cards
This could be the END of Mark Carney's GRIP on power. Canadians will be on our hand and knees begging for Ottawa to make a deal
