The Art Dealer with the Prison Tattoo

by Eric Franklin on August 3, 2010

I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun. A famous art dealer has been accused of defrauding his A-list clients and will likely be sentenced for up to 18 years as a result.

Salander, 61, was arrested in March 2009 and pleaded guilty earlier this year to stealing $120 million from clients and investors including tennis player John McEnroe and actor Robert De Niro. The former owner of the Salander-O’Reilly Galleries has paid no restitution, his defense attorney and prosecutors said.
