Loretta is cleaning out her attic and finds a painting of a garden of blue irises she bought at a garage sale. Loretta asks her friend, Mina, who's an art expert, if the painting is worth anything. Mina recognizes the painting as a Van Gogh original and knows it's worth millions, but tells Loretta the painting isn't worth very much. The painting wouldn't match her own décor, so Loretta offers to sell it to Mina for $50. Mina accepts the offer and pays Loretta $50. Mina later is able to sell the Van Gogh original for $2 million.

A. Scienter
