Honor America Capital LLC Sues Hermès Heir Nicolas Puech in Washington D.C. Over $14 Billion Shares Allegedly Stolen

Nicolas Puech, an octogenarian heir to the Hermès luxury fortune, is at the center of a complex legal dispute involving the alleged sale of Hermès shares worth approximately 14 billion euros (around $14 billion). Honor America Capital LLC, a US-based company backed by Qatar, filed a lawsuit in Washington D.C. accusing Puech of failing to deliver the shares after an agreed sale. Puech denies having sold the shares and claims they were stolen from him, leading to uncertainty about the current ownership of the shares. The case has drawn attention due to the unusual circumstances surrounding Puech, who reportedly adopted his former gardener, making him wealthy, and the mystery over the whereabouts of the shares.
