BRIBERY - INVESTDRINKS RECOMMENDS....

Jim Budd is certainly an avid wine lover and drinker. He even comments on his site, ..'I certainly can not afford to drink all the wine I NEED TO test...'

Would a man who NEEDS to drink wine to test but can not afford, possibly take bribes from companies wishing to avoid negative comments?

Further still would they want to get listed on his recommended list?

Take for example 'Bordeaux Wine Investments', recently added on to his recommended sites after having very little history and charging prices that are just as high if not higher than most investment companies out there. Why else would they have been added, what reasons could he possibly give?

As a strong example of biased behaviour Berry Brothers & Rudd has never been commented on by Jim, yet the prices are astronomical, often 20-30% higher than smaller companies. Either he is afraid they have the money to sue, or he gets plenty of benefits.

Jim asks for money politely and 'anonymously' on his site. But as anyone knows due to money laundering laws, you can not have an anonymous payment made, the company payment of course shows up on paypal. Payment made, Jim kindly decides what level of courtesy they should receive.

A man with good morals? I certainly don't think so!

Aliases & Corrupt Processes

Often noticed in the industry, companies will send out material and give out detailed information to 'APPARENTLY' interested investors. These people will call, e-mail and discuss at length the wine investment market. Then magically they will disappear!

Jim Budd then appears in a puff of magic, through of course the anonymous internet, discussing and mutilating their material. And 'BY ASSOCIATION' of being on his website, you WILL loose business and suffer rumours at his hands. There is nothing you can do. The problem is that for investors who see his site, even if they think he seems a bit eccentric, they will not want to take the risk. Would you?

This is a miscarriage of justice in business that should be dealt with by the government, where internet laws are changed back or altered. I hope that we can bring about enough awareness through this site to counter a little of the corrupt damage he has done.
