Florida art dealer gets nearly 4 years in prison for scheme to sell fake Andy Warhol artworks

A Miami gallery owner got nearly four years in federal prison and must repay almost $2.6 million for passing off fake Andy Warhols as originals bought straight from the Warhol Foundation. Prosecutors say a conspirator posing as an auction-house employee falsely authenticated the forgeries, and fake invoices backed up the story.
