So for years I have been told (by friends and family) to leave this story alone. No one is ever going to help. No one will ever step forward and do the right thing. It is never that I didn't solve it, or the information I am sharing is incorrect. It is that the Koch brothers will never be exposed. They are rich and protected. Power, Privilege & Crime.
This is why Cambridge University waited 20+ years to report their theft. Their suspected criminal died and they hoped they hoped they did right in their will. They are still protecting the criminal's name. Why? Because the name is a billionaire. If I am wrong, you can send an email to suzanne@theartworkstory.com letting me know and I will stop including Cambridge University in these emails. There are at least 10 email addresses for Cambridge receiving these newsletters. Discuss it and make a decision - the cycle needs to end.
As we can see I will not leave this story alone. I believe strongly that the Koch Brothers crimes should be known. I don't care how much power they have. It is a shame that all of you don't feel the same way. Stop protecting the privileged criminal billionaires. They only have power if we let them. If I give up I am no better than those protecting them and why would I want to protect them? Why would you want to protect them?
I wake up everyday knowing I am doing all I can for what is right. I am emailing nearly 100 email addresses that go to news agencies, museums, law enforcement, etc. Maybe my next newsletter will be the complete email address list I am sending these newsletters to?
I was told that Rupert Murdoch owns the news and protects the Koch brothers from bad news press. That Rupert will never let this story be reported on by the news. Read here, here, here, and here.
Eventually I will find my way to having this story heard. I will never, ever, ever, EVER, give up! I just get more determined.
I solved the LARGEST ART CRIMES IN HISTORY!
It all started with an art heist...
March 18, 1990, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heist Stolen:
- The Concert – Vermeer (Dutch artist)
- Éduardo Manet
- 3 Rembrandt's
- 5 pen & pencil Degas drawings
- Bird Finial
- Flinck painting
- Chinese Gu
September 21, 1991, Robert Donati is murdered by the mafia because of the art heist (learn more here). He was discovered murdered on September 24th.
(13 days later) October 7, 1991, James Bourlet & Sons in London warehouse art storage fire. That burns over 100+ million art and collectibles (1990s value). Including a great majority of FrEDerick R. Koch's belongings. (learn more here). Fire remains unsolved.
(2-3 weeks later) November 1991, Stranger calling himself "Ed Koch" arrives in Mary's life selling her artwork by master artist. Saying the damage on the artwork is from it being saved from a fire at an art storage warehouse. Sharing stories about a lavish lifestyle and lawsuits with a twin brother (learn more here).
Sold to Mary:
- Vincent van Gogh painting (Dutch artist)
- Éduardo Manet
- 4 Picasso's
- 5 pen & pencil Alexander Calder drawings
- 3 Bird paintings
- Jim Cassel print (of a man seated looking at a painting)
- Several other pieces including pieces never photographed
Frederick R. Koch's mother's name is Mary. She passed away eleven months prior to Mr. Koch arriving in Mary's life and selling her artwork.
1994 someone writes a letter to the museum in attempt to return the artwork. They discuss the artwork was being held in another country and could be purchased by a buyer if they did not know they were stolen they could get full legal ownership of the pieces. Showing knowledge of international art trading laws. Suzanne's Miami research found Ed Koch at a company called "International Art Trading".
