I think it goes without saying, but we shouldn’t be sending a bunch of hatemail to the guy right now (if anyone was considering it). We have been warned, that is enough for now. Save hatemail for later, if needed.

Alright, Mob. Since it’s almost midnight and I’m getting tired...and tired of the Mob mentality, here it is:

alafito.


Been refreshing this page for like ever waiting for this... I feel not totally complete still.


It is what it is. What did you expect...a public stoning? A courtyard stocking? I think that’s what this mob would like.

I post this only as a public cautionary, until either he can post a logical explanation, or not.

So these are bottles received over three trades starting in 8/3/2006?

Andrew


No. To my knowledge, these are all from the recent release.

This is why Andrew is so reluctant to pin this on alafito...they have quite a few high profile, successful trades together. And alafito’s been cooperative during the entire investigation. Not exactly the actions of a guilty thief.

Indeed, so hopefully things will be worked out between them. In the interim, everyone should back off and leave both parties alone.

It was page 14. Good call. thumbs up


Not a good call...a self-fulfilling prophecy. If he’d said page 15, I probably would have waited until this page. wink

I’m guessing no. It looks like Andrew had received 5 BA Alesmiths before getting the fakes (as well as a couple Cuvee de Tommes). It certainly makes things puzzling.

2 quick things..

not to state the obvious question, but .. are you sure all the ba alesmiths he sent in the past were not fakes?(i assume you are, otherwise you would have mentioned it already)

regardless, I hope alafito does post in the thread to explain his side of the story
