Why yes. Yes they could.

Fine art fraud. It shouldn't happen but somehow - SOMEHOW - the industry is thriving more than it's ever done.

Nobody is immune to it either.

Learning stuff is cool. Until it isn't.

Here's your chance to take the red pill. Can you acknowledge you're better off NOT knowing some things?

Meet Roko's Basilisk. Or don't. Just understand the choice is still yours to make. For now

What if you were presented with a life changing piece of information.

Something that would force you to make a decision you’d otherwise never have to. Would you still do it, even if you were warned not to?

Now’s your chance to find out

This is the first and (hopefully) ONLY time I would ask you not to read something I've written.

For your own sanity and wellbeing don't read this piece.

But you're going to ignore that advice and do it anyway aren't you?
