Million Dollar Verdict Issued in Favor of Art Theft Victim

According to this article, Michael Bakwin, who was the victim of the largest residential art theft in Massachusetts history, won $3 million in a civil judgment against the man who held the stolen works of art for two decades.

 

Bakwin has retrieved several of the paintings over the years, but it was not until last year that the final two of seven were returned. Robert M. Madirosian, convicted for the theft, was already sentenced to seven years in prison.
