Knoedler Victim’s Lawyer: Freedman Could Have Had Her Day in Court Long Ago

October 2, 2015 by Marion Maneker

Ann Freedman

The lawyer representing John Howard, the buyer of a fake de Kooning from Ann Freedman while she worked at Knoedler, isn’t very happy with her lawyer’s claims that she wants her day in court. John Cahill released a statement this morning:

“The outrageous irony of Freedman’s claims to want her day in Court is that she, Hammer, and her other co-defendants have used the profits they took from selling fakes to pay lawyers in an expensive, years-long effort to avoid a trial. That money, the proceeds of a crime for which one defendant (Rosales) is awaiting sentencing, should have been used to pay the victims of the biggest fraud ever to damage the New York art market.”
