Craig Arch was jailed in 2019 for part in a 6.2 m investment scam with 350 victims.
He changed his appearance, changed his name to Arch , and set up Cask Whisky Ltd.
Cask Spirits Global was under investigation by the City of London Police for alleged fraud.
But no sooner had I started looking into the company, it disappeared.
Brooks told me he had 11,000 clients all over Europe , built up over a seven-year whisky career.
He told me there was no mark-up on the casks they bought for investors.
Brooks then proceeded to give me a list of casks for my client to buy totalling almost 1.5 m.
He admitted his real name was Brooks , but said all whisky he had previously sold existed.
