...Best Con Men Ever." "But this is fully documented," a baffled Meadows would occasionally interject. The A.D.A.A. members were not surprised; documents are even easier to forge than paintings. Last January French police raided the apartment of one Raoul Lessard as he was leaving for New York, found a suitcase with four fake paintings, forged custom stamps and certificates by experts, all addressed to Dallas. Lessard has been acting as "private secretary" to a dandy named Fernand Legros, who last March in Paris sent a photo of a painting supposedly by Andre Derain to an auction house, only to have...
