Former Salander Associate Convicted
A former art director working for dealer Lawrence Salander was convicted of defrauding four estates out of about $5 million by selling 80 works of art without notifying their owner.
Leigh Morse evaded a full prison sentence, however, according to this article, and will “serve weekends in prison for four months and pay restitution of $1.65 million.”
Salander himself was exposed for operating a $120 million art Ponzi scheme at his Upper East Side gallery. He began serving his six- to 18-year sentence last year.
