Obama acts as though we no longer have a Constitution
A missing painting at the center of a bizarre web of legal action has turned up more than a month after it vanished _ at a New York City police station.
A doorman who works across from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art found a painting outside his building and kept it for weeks, then realized it was a missing work at the center of a bizarre legal web and turned it in to investigators this week, an official said.
A con man carried out an "inartful fraud" when he fooled an art collector into thinking they were partners in the $1.1 million purchase of a missing painting but was actually ripping the investor off, a federal prosecutor said Thursday.
Call it the lost art of drinking responsibly: A man entrusted with helping to sell a $1.3 million painting said it disappeared while he was in a drunken haze, according to a lawsuit filed by a co-owner of the canvas.
First it was a curious tale of a $1.3 million painting a middleman said he drunkenly lost while trying to help a friend sell it.
