Prateek Gupta is the 43-year-old scion of an Indian family that ran a public metals-and-power company. Even before Trafigura Group said phony nickel shipments could cost it up to $577 million, some people and businesses had decided to steer clear of both Prateek Gupta—the businessman Trafigura says is responsible for the alleged misconduct—and a Swiss firm Mr. Gupta had acquired.

The company said Thursday that only a small number of potentially problematic shipments have been inspected, with most still in transit.
