Art Dealer Buys Painting Off Naive Nuns
An art dealer who bought a painting from an upstate convent for
$450,000 and then immediately resold it for $2.2 million says it's not
his fault nuns are bad business people. He was resold the next week
for $5 million.

An Accomplice
Lasalle and art dealer Mark Zaplin "intentionally, deliberately,
wantonly, maliciously [and] with evil motive . . . perpetrated fraud
against the Daughters of Mary Mother of Our Savior," the nuns charge
in court papers.

The Zionist's Lawyer
Lasalle's lawyer, Dan Sleasman, said the allegations are "false"
and the lawsuit is "filled with one falsehood after another." Zaplin
referred comment to his lawyer, who didn't immediately return a call.

Helen Dumont
Apparently a secretary, Helen Dumont, came forward and told the
nuns that the Jewish boys had flipped the painting for more than $2
million. It has since sold for more than $5 million by another
accomplice.
