This month, Inigo Philbrick and his wife, Victoria Baker-Harber, have participated in splashy, confessional stories in both Vanity Fair and The Times of London. Philbrick, of course, was released from federal prison in March after serving less than four years of a seven-year sentence for an extensive fraud scheme wherein he sold “more than 100 percent ownership in an artwork to multiple individuals and entities without their knowledge” and also “sold and used art as collateral for loans without informing his co-owners or disclosing those ownership stakes to his lenders,” according to the prosecutors who put him behind bars.
