The couple is accused of peddling woodblocks, purportedly to be antiques, to various buyers and then laundering more than $200,000 from the sales.
The woodblocks as well as prints made from woodblocks were advertised as dating between the 15th and early 20th centuries and sold to collectors in France and Pennsylvania, including Hummelstown and York, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s statement.
“If you promise people one thing and sell them another, that’s fraud, plain and simple,” said Jacqueline Maguire, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Philadelphia Division. “Here we had collectors paying for what they believed were old, rare, and valuable woodblocks and prints, but what they allegedly received were none of the above.”
