Vintage Wine Scam Victim Shyness Delays Sentencing

A man convicted of selling more than $20.7 million in counterfeit wines had his sentencing delayed after a federal judge said he wants to know more about the wealthy victims of the fraud and how much they lost.

Rudy Kurniawan’s sentencing, scheduled for today in Manhattan federal court, was postponed until July, with U.S. District Judge Richard Berman saying he’s heard from only a handful of victims who might be entitled to restitution, such as billionaire William Koch, who bought millions of dollars of fake rare vintages.
