401: Robert Wittman | The Undercover Hunt for Stolen Art - a podcast by Jordan Harbinger

from 2020-09-07T23:00

:: ::

Robert Wittman (@robertwittman) is the former senior investigator/creator of the FBI's national art crime team and author of Priceless: How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World's Stolen Treasures.

Why criminal and terrorist organizations find art less risky to smuggle than contraband like cash, drugs, or guns.

The three things that make an art piece valuable: provenance, authenticity, and good title.

Why the US has only relatively recently begun to take art crime seriously, whereas Italy's art crime team has a freaking submarine!

Simple but effective tactics for remaining undercover without arousing suspicion from the targets.

Why losing his fear instinct was a clear signal for Robert to retire from undercover work for good.
