概要
How They Swapped a $2.3M Masterpiece for a Perfect Fake

Cold, precise, and almost surgical: a $400,000 Castellan oil was swapped for a flawless forgery that hung unnoticed for more than a day, and the original sat propped against a fountain in freezing twenty-two-degree weather. Who orchestrated an eight-month plan that used proximity cards, a hired art handler, and a workshop producing copies before a major conference even began?

In this episode, we follow the timeline of what happened at Harmon Tower, the roles of the people involved, and the forensic puzzle left behind, asking how access, expertise, and timing combined to make the theft possible.
