Lies, forgeries, manipulation - and fraud worth $86 million. How Inigo Philbrick deceived the super rich of the art world - and ended up going from paradise to prison.
Inigo Philbrick is an overnight sensation, selling artworks to the world’s richest collectors in a booming market. He has a reality TV star girlfriend, and he spends millions on private jets and parties. But there is a dark secret behind his success - he has created one of the biggest art frauds in history. When it comes crashing down, he must choose: face justice or disappear?
Inigo Philbrick and girlfriend Victoria vanish without a trace. As his victims realise they have been conned, the FBI begins a global manhunt. Finally captured in the south Pacific, Philbrick faces justice in a New York courtroom, where the full extent of his $86 million scam is revealed. Prison puts an end to his life as an art dealer, but now free, he hopes to make a comeback.
