Answer: There's a reason you haven't been able to reach Kristine Eubanks: She's in the slammer.
The elaborate scam she pulled off with Gerald Sullivan, her fast-talking husband who also served as auctioneer, is not a pretty picture.
The couple bought counterfeit art prints and paintings, which they resold on television. The auctions ended in 2006 when the hammer was dropped, and not in a good way.
During a four-year period, $20 million in fake art was sold by the couple to more than 10,000 customers. The "certificates of authenticity" they issued are as worthless and phony as the signatures on most of the pieces they peddled.
I keep looking online, but I can't find much in the way of unique asian decor for both inside my home and on my deck. Any suggestions?
I'm remodeling my room and I need to figure this out very quickly.
Thank youu.
