A United Kingdom citizen has been sentenced to 10 years in prison in the United States for his role in a multi-million-dollar fraud scheme that tricked investors into funding a fake fine wine business.
James Wellesley, also known by the aliases “Andrew Fuller” and “Andrew Templar”, was sentenced in federal court in Brooklyn. He was also ordered to forfeit $1 million, with restitution to victims to be determined at a later date.
