"The Inside Story of America's Biggest Art Fraud and the Hunt for a Banksy: A Tale of Feckless Wealth and Crime"

Orlando Whitfield, a former friend of art dealer Inigo Philbrick, details the inside story of the biggest art fraud in American history in his book "All That Glitters." Philbrick swindled millions of dollars from friends, business associates, investors, and collectors through a series of fraudulent art deals, leading to his imprisonment and a seven-year sentence for wire fraud. Whitfield describes the corrupt and unregulated art market as a world of drugs, luxury, and manipulation, ultimately leading to his own breakdown and decision to leave the art dealing industry.
