On Sunday, Oct. 5, the Food Network star opened up about an elaborate crime scheme that resulted in 24,000 bottles of his tequila going missing.
In November 2024, Santo Tequila—co-founded by Fieri and former Van Halen lead singer Sammy Hagar—was the victim of an international crime scheme.

(Aaron Davidson/Getty Images for Goldbelly)During his sit-down with 60 Minutes, Fieri recalled the president of his company calling him about two truckloads of tequila that suddenly went missing.
Fieri asked if it was hijacking and whether the drivers were OK, explaining, "Because all my mind goes to is Goodfellas, you know? That's what I think is happening."

The logistics company that Santo hired to handle the transportation of its tequila hired a trucking company, which then outsourced delivery to two other trucking companies, which then hired drivers. As detailed in 60 Minutes, those second trucking companies were fakes.
Keith Lewis, a former police officer who runs a company called CargoNet to solve this type of crime, told 60 Minutes that it's "very common."

"If it could happen to us with what I believe were pretty strong measures of security and awareness and communication and the way we do business—and to get ripped off for two full semi-truckloads of tequila in today's age—then everybody's vulnerable," Fieri explained.
