NEW YORK (Reuters) – Former tennis champion John McEnroe was duped along with investment firms, art dealers and the Bank of America in a sophisticated $88 million art investment scam revealed in New York on Thursday. Art dealer Lawrence Salander, 59, was arrested at his New York home on Thursday after he was indicted on 100 counts, including grand larceny and securities fraud, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau told a news conference.
Victims of Salander’s fraudulent scheme included McEnroe, who invested $2 million for a half share of two paintings, Arshile Gorky’s “Pirate I and II,” but never recouped the money, authorities said.
