NOT A PEEP: NO ANSWERS FROM ORLANDO MUSEUM OF ART STAFFERS; Department Heads Notified, Provided True Identities of “Billy” & “Lee” Nearly One Month Ago

On February 18, 2022, I sent an email to Joann Walfish, the Chief Financial Officer of the Orlando Museum of Art detailing the preliminary results of my investigation into the true identities of the men described in media reports as a “Massachusetts treasure hunter” and his “financial backer”.

If you called a marijuana smuggler a “treasure hunter” and a cocaine smuggler his “financial backer”, you’d be missing the sordid histories of William Michael Force and John Leo Mangan III

As the Museum’s Chief Financial Officer, I believed that as a fiduciary, Walfish’s responsibilities are both ethical and legal — and that she would do something…anything.

On February 21, 2022, I published the email header and its contents here on Medium.

Two days later, on February 23, 2022, I followed up, resending the email to Walfish, and copying Museum department heads: Aaron De Groft (Director & CEO), Hansen Mulford (Chief Curator), Arielle-Christine Study (Director of Development & Corporate Relations), Jane Ferry (Curator of Education), Emilia Bourmas-Fry (Director of Marketing and Communications) and Stu Worobetz (Chief of Operations).

As of today, there have been no responses.

Not a peep.
