Four weeks after a judge overseeing the legal battle involving Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey and its creditors allowed a receiver to sell a Martha’s Vineyard property, company founder, co-owner and Chief Executive Officer Fawn Weaver has been dismissed. Relatedly, the receiver in the case terminated Fawn’s husband and co-owner of the company Keith Weaver. According to the receiver’s most recent report, the firings were effective June 1 and the couples’ access to the facilities has been restricted since that date. The report also notes the company is under some form of government investigation, which the receiver is cooperating with, according to the Nashville Post.
