Question: Final bidder against Ruselsky?

I took a long break before the last ten minutes--I wanted to be able to fully focus on the copy/original controversy--and I can't remember what faction the next to the last bidder was representing. Thanks in advance.

As to the controversy: The whole point of Moritz being caught off-guard when the museum people arrive unexpectedly is to explain how they managed to walk away with the original instead of the copy he planned to substitute. But the drawing of Bussotti inspires Moritz to risk a last minute switch at the auction house, and he's successful. (Plus, it's considerably less dramatic if Moritz is simply trying to make a clean getaway with his own property and maintain his reputation by avoiding prosecution for attempted fraud.)

The violin had been a famous concert instrument earlier, when Pope had it, and managed to wind up back in the anonymity of public domain. Now it can travel around for a few more centuries, an instrument for children that changes lives.
