Todd Brassner's father was Jules Brassner, an art dealer who was arrested in 1971 for receiving stolen art goods.
Article states: "It was part of a scheme that involved a government lawsuit over stolen Treasury bills that Mr. Brassner was involved in but not named as a defendant or co-conspirator."
Strange article including a video "obit" by "a local friend" of Jules.
