THEY ALL KNEW…OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN: Orlando Museum of Art Department Heads Were Made Aware Of Criminal History Of Mangan & Force

Orlando Museum of Art spokeswoman Emilia Bourmas-Fry said in a statement that they were complying with a warrant from the FBI for access to the ‘Heroes and Monsters’ exhibit, which is now in the government’s possession.

She added that no one on the museum’s staff has been arrested.

“It is important to note that we still have not been led to believe the Museum has been or is the subject of any investigation,” Bourmas-Fry said. “We continue to see our involvement purely as a fact witness.”

“Fact witness”?

So am I.

Here’s an inconvenient truth: Bourmas-Fry, and several other department heads (including Aaron De Groft) were informed about the criminal backgrounds of the men named in a February 16, 2022 The New York Times article as “William Force” and “Lee Mangin”.

I know because I did it.

On February 18, 2022, I emailed Joann Walfish, the Museum’s CFO. She did not respond, so on February 23, 2022, I sent Walfish the email a second time, and copied several department heads — including De Groft.

Don’t say you weren’t warned!
