The two portraits below are of Bernie Madoff. They are for sale as a pair, with a target price of $50 billion. Subject to clarification and resolution of tax and legal issues, I will contribute 99% of my net profits from the sale to Madoff’s victims (subject to offset by all other available sources of recovery.) *
Please email me your bona fide interest. Bidding was scheduled to close at 12:00 PM PST February 28, 2009; however, bidding has been extended for up to 150 years and the paintings will be sold to the first bidder to offer $50 billion. Offers may not contain a financing contingency.
A sale of the Madoff portraits at the targeted $50 billion price will cement my reputation as the nation’s premier con artist.
*This offer does not apply if the final sale price is less than $50 billion. Applicable sales tax will be added to the purchase price.
