Whiskey, Wine Fraud on Americans Brings 5-Year Term for Briton
A British man who defrauded American and Canadian investors
of about 30 million pounds ($49 million) through investment
schemes tied to wine, whiskey, cognac and champagne was
sentenced to 5 years in prison.
Serious Fraud Office, which prosecuted the case,
said in a statement yesterday. Gunter’s U.K.-based company
called the Hallmark Partnership, and later Vintage Hallmark Plc,
operated like a Ponzi scheme, prosecutors said.
Gunter promised investors high rates of return over short
periods of time, including a 50 percent return over 10 months
for a champagne investment, and a 110 percent return over three
months from whiskey investments.
Gunter’s 5-year sentence was handed down in June and
couldn’t be made public until yesterday because of reporting
restrictions related to Gunter’s co-defendant Robin Grove’s
trial.
Gunter had previously been found guilty for his involvement
in a similar wine investment scheme in 2008. He was sentenced to
4 1/2 years in prison for that fraud. He is to serve the terms
concurrently.
