Fake Japanese whisky

The sad denouement to the story about the "Rare Old" Japanese whisky is that Serge Valentin has discovered it was fraudulently filled by some Ebay conmen. The bottle itself was genuine and still fascinates me but the fraudsters bought it empty from a legitimate seller and hiked its price by filling it.
