Bill Koch, "The Sucker"

Post by Roy Hersh »

He said so himself. But if you've been following the Rudy scandal, or like to understand how millions of dollars of wine is forged ... "enjoy"!

Of course one might ask, is he a sucker because he bought fakes, or because he'd spend $100,000 for a bottle, even if genuine.

Watched the Bill Koch piece on 20/20 recently. My wife and daughter were with me and we all actually laughed when he started crying about how much he loves his rare wine and art. Dude came across as all about himself and his ego, there was nothing about him that inspired sympathy, he's really the kind of public face wine lovers do not need.
