Warhols That Weren’t: The Leslie Roberts Miami Art Fraud examines an alleged six-million-dollar art scheme centered on forged Andy Warhol works sold through a Miami gallery. As collectors begin asking routine questions after the sales close, they are allegedly routed to fake foundation contacts and impersonators posing as institutional authorities who “authenticate” the art. What begins as quiet doubt escalates into a federal investigation, exposing how trust, reputation, and simulated authority can be weaponized in the opaque world of high-end art sales.
