Former mortgage broker Chris Schaller, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud in 2020 and has yet to be sentenced, owned more than 100 paintings by folk artist George Colin. So reports the Illinois Times.
Dozens of those paintings now reside in the office of a Springfield, Illinois lawyer who fought Schaller in court for years.
Other reputed owners of works by Colin, who died in 2014, include Oprah Winfrey and Michael Jordan.
