I am sorry you disagree Jeff. No one disputes he created the artwork that later became forgeries. I’ve always agreed with Bruce’s view that Jaime only crossed a line when he did further restoration work on one of the pieces that found its way back to him.
To put this into perspective, a kid in my 15 year old son’s class recreated the Mona Lisa in stunning fashion. It was incredible. He won an art award for his achievements, and made the local papers. However, it would only be considered a forgery if someone knowingly sold it under the pretence of it being the original, as Haggard did with Jaime’s artwork. Now Haggard, I hope that guy rots in hell! If you really want to take a stance though you should boycott eBay, Amazon and/or all of the major auction houses, because they’ve all sold - and continue to sell - his restored paper. :-> Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef> ________________________________ From: MoPo List <mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU> on behalf of Jeff Potokar <jpotok...@ca.rr.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2019 7:00 pm To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] Thank you Jaime - In a Lonely Place 6sh Yes he’s good. No doubt about that. But the facts speak for themselves. Its has nothing to do what I think about him. He helped perpetuate a MAJOR fraud in this hobby. Again. those are the FACTS. They are Not my thoughts on him or the issue at hand. And again..talk to those that were ripped off or taken for THOUSANDS of dollars. Who cares what category one wants to play him in, or not. He still was part of the Haggard scam that took $$ from many fine people. . On Apr 17, 2019, at 10:53 AM, Scott Clark <sscottwcl...@hotmail.com<mailto:sscottwcl...@hotmail.com>> wrote: Ha! Somehow I don’t put Jaime in the same category as Bernie who defrauded people out of roughly $65 billion. He made a mistake and he continues to pay the price for it. At the same time, I think you’d be surprised out how many collectors continue to use Jaime in silence. As for me, I could truly care less about what you or any of the others think about him.

Thanks for sharing the before-and-after images. Jaime did a great job of recreating the missing section. A true artist!
