I believe the Le Guennecs re: the Picasso artworks. Do you?

[deleted]

I believe the couple featured in tonight's episode did not steal Picasso's work. Picasso's children, from all that I have read, are documented losers who, despite the fact that their father wasn't a great 'dad', seek to make money off of his name at every turn. It was the claim of Picasso's heirs that their father was incapable of such generosity, and this may well be the case, but the gift was presented to the electrician and his wife by Jacqueline. It is my understanding that Jacqueline was very protective of the artist and would have been well aware of over two hundred pieces of work gone missing. Return to these people the fortune presented to them by friendship and circumstance.

I didn't believe the old couple. They seemed shady to me. The old man looked like a worm and his wife looked like a bitter, controlling manipulator. I also believe the family and estate runners are a bunch of slimeballs who aren't gonna part with a dime if they don't have to. That said, they had the Picasso works and they were real. Who cares how they got them? No vault was robbed. Nobody came forward to contest that they were the real owners. They were never in an inventory that went missing. However they acquired the works, I believe it was finder's keepers and they were due fair compensation. The old man really should have just thrown them in a fire. Since the family was the only ones that could authenticate them, they were worthless on the black market, and there was no way the Picasso estate with all their money and power was gonna pay for them. It was a lose lose situation. But they were old and sick and went for it. I get it. From what I understand, this same sort of thing is still going on all the time with stolen works from WWII. Sometimes, priceless stuff is worthless.
