John Fox & Premier Cru—Ponzi Scheme

John Fox Allegedly Uncorked an Eleborate Wine Ponzi Scheme where He Ultimately Bought Wine from Rival Retailers To Complaining Customers Waiting for their Select Vintages

Premier Cru owner John Fox lived the high life in the Bay, allegedly using company accounts to pay personal expenses including home mortgage payments, credit-card bills, tuition, fancy cars, and up to $900,000 on women he met online,  according to Court Reports from California currently under review by attorneys Joe Peiffer and James Booker.

In reality, the cellar was barren. Customer complained when orders were not delivered. As a result, Fox allegedly finagled deliveries taking bottles from stock reserved for other customers or by purchasing it from rival retailers, even taking a loss on said transactions, according to reports from California.

John Fox Allegedly Allegedly Took in $45 Million from Approximately 4,500 Customers; Fox also Allegedly Took in $5 Million from Said Scheme

John Fox is rather blunt describing Premier Cru’s business model. He describes the rationale for alleged his “phantom wine” shell game. It  which he said was done “to conceal my ongoing fraud, to lull customers into a false sense that Premier Cru was a legitimate business, to cause these customers to continue to purchase wines from Premier Cru, and to prevent them from complaining to law-enforcement authorities”, according to reports from California

Things came to a crashing end as Fox allegedly filed for personal bankruptcy, and as his Premier Cru business was being hammered with a deluge of lawsuits by angry customers in state and federal courts, according to Court Reports from California currently being examined by attorneys Joe Peiffer and James Booker.

Finally, from 2010 forward, Fox allegedly took in $5 million from said purported Ponzi scheme which allegedly took in $45 million from about 4,500, California Court reports also note.
