Don’t know about that, but does anyone know what the fraud case is about?

Here is an article that explains it better than I could: KINKADE

If I remember correctly it was that he produced more than the contracted number of prints of his paintings.

Kincade was found to have defrauded multiple frachisees over the course of a few years. There were two series of actions.

In the first he and his company were accused of using God and Christianity as sales tools to entice legitimate Christians to contract with them. It might sound funny but the case was decided against him and he was forced to pay millions in damages.

In the second action he was sued by franchisees who were promised that the company would not saturate the market and under-cut the paintings. The company reneged on these contracted agreements and dumped thousands of paintings into the market place at prices well below those at which the franchisees had to charge. Kincade lost that one top.

IOW....just one more scam artist hiding behind the Bible and the Lord. And 99% of his paintings suck, unless motel art is your thing.
