<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Back in the early 2000s, a young man named Rudy Kurniawan exploded onto the scene in the fine wine industry. It&#8217;s a place where the rich spend more on one bottle than some make in a full year at a job. Rudy was said to be spending up to a million dollars on rare bottles of wine at auctions and throwing very lavish dinners. This all sounds like a luxurious life doesn&#8217;t it?</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Behind it all, Rudy also became the center of an outrageous scam, conning some of the richest collectors in the world. The wine connoisseur was admired for building a full cellar of rare wines, selling many of his bottles for record breaking amounts. However, he was hiding a big secret. When Kurniawan crossed paths with billionaire wine collector, Bill Koch &#8211; everything was exposed.</p>
