Wasn't there a detailed TV documentary about Hoffman and his scam aired some years ago? I remember watching it in fascination.

Hoffman was brilliant in his forgeries and game plan. So brilliant that I suspect he was always hovering on the brink of some form of madness.

Perhaps the upcoming program will shed some light from the ex-wife's perspective. I'll watch with interest.

If folks can lay aside the distracting religious infighting, the tale of Hoffman is fascinating indeed.

My reason for posting has to do with the business of forgery and trickery and the fact that the very elect can be deceived due to their greed and sometimes their desperate wishes to make something real that is not.

As a fine art dealer, I see this all the time. When values escalate, the tricksters come out of the woodwork. For instance, in the world of fine art, I can point to several fake pieces of art being offered on eBay every day.
