Hello,

To add to your information, The Sunday Times in London reported
yesterday that a Patron of the Tate Gallery has also been implicated
in the process of altering internal records.  This benefactor gave
#25,000 to the Tate and was therefore given free access to the
building.  The article said the police connected the Patron to doctored
archives that provided false references for fake works of art.  These
works were then sold at auction for millions.  The Patron has also
contributed to other organizations, which are now being investigated.
