December 2019,
gardeners removing ivy from a wall
found small ventilation space
inside of
which they discovered painting,
without frame,
wrapped in a black garbage bag.
Timing it to come after
expiration of statute of limitations
on the crime.
Facing jail time 4
a separate burglary spree,
they may have been attempting
use the Klimt painting’s whereabouts
as a bargaining chip
in gunning 4 a reduced sentence.
"The much hoped-for reparations
devolved into a corrupted process
marked by diverted funds
+ misconduct
that even the lawyers involved
characterized as 'fraud'".
John "Jack" Hanick
faces max of 25 yrs in prison
for allegedly violating the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act
and
making false statements to federal prosecutors.
He was arrested Feb. 3 in London and awaits extradition.
Hahaha.
Thanks Harvard.
"An edited tasting of
Russian vodka
will be provided!"

In 2013, Hanick moved 2 RU
2 launch independent,
privately financed tv network.
2 yrs later, moved 2 Athens.
