Dominic Fopoli

We're selling a bunch of wine.

I mean, the winery was a hit, but there wasn't enough money to keep paying our bills, which I didn't understand.

I didn't get.

Where's the money going?

I'm starting foreclosure proceedings on you guys.

Foreclosure proceedings?

Foreclosure, yeah, because we had missed our first payment to him for the winery.

So I called Robert, and he said, you shouldn't be worried about that.

I've got all that covered.

And I said, are you kidding me?

Vipoli went ballistic.

This is my dream, and we were successful in everything we were doing.

So my family and my partners, my brother and my best friends came around and said, we'll do whatever we need to do and let's get this guy out.

You know, I introduced him as my partner, my friend.

So I brought him into that circle of trust that we have here.

Everybody welcomed him with open arms because I vouched for him.

I had never been burned before.

I was naive.

Emod came to me saying, I have this problem.

So I looked at it and said, yeah, you have a problem.
