Ilhan Omar Winery Doesn’t Exist

How did Ilhan Omar make millions from a 100% fake winery?

Illhan Omar lists a California winery on her financial disclosures. You can see them below. The winery name is ‘eStCru LLC.’

In 2023 it was valued at $15k.
In 2024 it was valued at $5 Million

This must be a very successful winery to grow that much in value over one year. Except… the winery does not even exist:

– No phone line
– No physical winery
– Social media gone dark
– A barely functional ‘website’
– No wine lol

What is this?!

It gets worse: Omar’s third husband, Tim Mynett, has been accused of defrauding investors through this FAKE winery. He was sued by the investors for millions because it’s all fraudulent. This is on brand. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison previously worked with Mynett, the same AG who has REFUSED to investigate widespread Somali fraud.

How does a nonexistent winery jump from $15k to $5 million in one year when the company is a ghost? How can Omar claim this fake company provides her millions in assets? Seems like a cover.

Ironically, one of the wine labels they made was literally called ‘The Devil‘s Lie’

If nothing else it shows the gullibility of a lot of would-be investors.

They will have lost a lot of money, and it might teach them to be more careful in future.

I don't know who is this Ihan Omar other than here, but over-speculative or even downright fraudulent shares sales are by no means new.

@ArishMell So the fraud is to be ignored, eh

@sunsporter1649 No, of course not. Irrespective of any supposed status of the thief.

Fraud is theft, cowardly, a crime that needs dealing with very hard, particularly when the victim is chosen as someone not very likely to spot the truth until too late. That seems not so here though.

Shares frauds differ from the more common sort now infesting [anti]social media - "romance scams", hoax "cloud account subscriptions", and the like - by being aimed not at the naive or genuinely ignorant, but at those whom we might expect sufficiently experienced in commerce, finance and the stock-market to examine what they are being offered, in considerable detail.

@ArishMell So fraud is to be ignored, because it is too hard to prosecute, eh

@sunsporter1649 NO! I did NOT say that and I am surprised you think I did. Fraud is fraud, whoever perpetrates it.
