US-CRIME-TRIAL-WINE-FRAUD

Wine expert Michael Egan speaks to the media outside Federal Court after wine dealer Rudy Kurniawan was found guilty in a trial December 18, 2013 in New York. Kurniawan was found guilty of masterminding a lucrative scheme to sell fake vintage wine in New York and London. The Indonesian-born Kurniawan remained impassive as the verdict was read out. He faces up to 40 years in jail and will be sentenced at a later date. Prosecutors said Kurniawan, whose 10-year career came to an abrupt end with his arrest in 2012, was an arch liar motivated by greed, who made millions selling fake vintages blended at home.AFP PHOTO/Stan HONDA (Photo credit should read STAN HONDA/AFP via Getty Images)
