"O'Connor was on the committee that organized the auction and was responsible for acquiring paintings for the auction. He said he never spoke with Hale about her painting, and no one in his group knew its real value before buying it.

'We were all friends and decided we would buy the painting,' he said Thursday. 'We just thought it would be a great investment.'"

Sheesh. What a weasel.

Hey, O'Connor: WWJD???

I didn't think of this angle the first time I read the article, but as some of you pointed out it does seem a bit suspicious now - I think O'Connor may have known from the start what he had.

Hmmmmmmmm.
Shades of William Jefferson C.!

Note the carefully chosen words. He neglected (on purpose) to say that no one in his group knew its real value before auctioning it; which leads me to believe...
Go back and read post #16.
