Picasso painting worth $70 million 'accidentally' damaged before auction

"This isn't Wynn's first run-in with damage Picasso paintings. In 2006, Wynn accidentally poked his elbow through Pablo Picasso's 1932 painting "Le Rêve," while showing it to a few of his guests. The painting was refurbished, and Wynn later sold it for $155 million at auction."

Insurance scam?
