LA Forged Art Hunt

Los Angeles police are hunting the source of forged paintings allegedly sold to unsuspecting buyers by Dr Vilas Likhite, a Southern California physician arrested in a sting operation when an LA police officer posed as a wealthy South Korean collector.
Likhite seems to have sold paintings to collectors supposedly by modern masters like de Kooning and Pollock which were actually originals done in the style of the artists. Likhite allegedly told buyers that he wanted to sell a $1 billion collection without going to auction.
