My apologies for dragging Dr. Conti out ...Hey Gang,<br />My apologies for dragging Dr. Conti out of the comedy closet one more time. What Rudy did was despicable, and his punishment, while relatively harsh (compared to, say, six months for rape), is earned. But how little the auction houses actually care about selling fraudulent wine is what should be investigated. Not because I care about the strange folks who collect old and rare wines, I don't. But the fraud market exists because of the auction houses. No Acker Merrall, nowhere for Rudy to dump his fake wines. They say, "Buyer Beware," but make very little effort to police what they're selling, even though they stake their reputations on it. It's like shoving someone into busy traffic and yelling, "Look out!" Sort of criminal, even though you warned them! And they re-sell fake wines over and over and over again. Amazing.<br /><br />And I just liked the notion that Rudy would write me a letter from prison. He always seemed like such a nice guy, why wouldn't he write?Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-8921603817137905952016-06-13T10:14:33.178-07:002016-06-13T10:14:33.178-07:00Too many zingers to point out the best lines.
