He knew nothing about wine or wineries and hired out Pacific american and Linda Hothem to bail him out. She took off after the courts ordered her out because Krystal did not disclose how much he owed his former partners in a fraud case where he was a defendant. All this has been covered up by the media and PR specialists at great expense to Krystal and Hothem. Ever see their names anywhere? No way! He keeps saying he's going to re-open the place, but why should he, he doesn't need to and has no interest in the wine business. He's just trying to keep the story alive so he can scam the insurance companies and leave the place to rot.

Their manager there was involved in over 5,000-6,000 cases of "missing" Pride Mountain wines about ten years ago. It was a pretty 'leaky' warehouse and all the owners were fighting over control. More than half the warehouse was full of sugar. They were trying to bust a union in the midwest. It wasn't a wine warehouse, it was a front for all kinds of other business scams. Anderson had moved out long before all this had gone down. Pacific American Consolidators just had the Marin County Courts kick them out because the current owner was being sued for fruad by his former partners for over 3 million dollars. The building was red tagged anyway, what's the big surprise? Hasn’t anyone ever looked into the other people at Wines Central.

You said it right Jens, this was truly tragic. How about prison for a long long time, And maybe label duty by hand for the wineries next offerings for 10 years.

The history of some wines gone forever, lives and businesses ruined. What is the punishment to fit the crime? As a wine lover it is truly tragic.
