英国政府取缔诈骗威士忌投资公司Cask Spirits Global 17名客户被骗近10万英镑
英国法院裁定关闭涉嫌诈骗的威士忌投资公司Cask Spirits Global。调查发现，17名客户向该公司支付合计9.72万英镑（约13.6万美元）购买木桶威士忌投资，但其中仅4人持有有效的所有权凭证。部分客户收到的是虚构公司名义的文件，或包含虚假存储信息的证书，甚至有人投资的木桶根本不存在；一名客户被告知其木桶存放在苏格兰保税仓库，却被该仓库否认与其有任何关系。该案于8月25日由伦敦高等法院正式清算，再次引发对威士忌木桶投资行业加强监管的呼声。
Cask Spirits Global has been closed after it was found that customers paid nearly £100,000 (US$136,000) for casks of whisky they never owned.
The fraudulent whisky investment company was officially wound up at the High Court in London on Tuesday 25 August following an inquiry by the Insolvency Service.
Investigations into 17 customers who paid the firm a combined total of £97,249 for cask investments revealed that only four held valid documents of ownership.
Some were issued paperwork in the name of a fictitious company, while others received certificates that contained false storage information, or simply referred to casks of whisky that never existed.
One customer was told that a cask he believed he owned was located at a bonded warehouse in Scotland, only to discover that the warehouse denied any connection to Cask Spirits Global.
