Art dealer moved $450,000 worth of Morrisseau fakes, new court document reveals
July 2, 2025

The document outlines his role in selling forgeries, while peeling back another layer of what investigators call the biggest case of art fraud in Canadian history, a major scheme that has tarnished the late Anishinaabe artist’s legacy.
