We understand a large percentage of clients have been patiently awaiting an update in regard to their assets, currently being stored with us under the &#8216;European Fine Wines&#8217; company account.<\/p>\n<p>For almost 36 months we have been working and collaborating with relevant parties to provide clients with a solution. We have now reached a point where clients can expect to have some level of insight in regard to their investment. In addition to the court delays, our main concern was allocating the wines that have been paid for but not officially assigned to clients. Through an extensive and thorough investigation, we have now managed to allocate a large bulk of clients&#8217; wines, which were initially frozen and seized within our administrator accounts. We can now confirm that the courts have given us the go ahead to officially release these wines from the bonded account in which they are currently being held.&#8217;<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Killick&#8217;s <span style=\"color: red;\"><b>fantasy narrative<\/b><\/span> continues for several more paragraphs..
