Miami, Fla. -
Police and FBI agents have arrested two men trying to sell a stolen Matisee painting worth $3 million. The 1925 painting, “Odalisque in Red Pants" was stolen from a Venezuelan museum and replaced by a forgery and authorities here say the two suspects were trying to sell it from their Miami Beach Loews hotel room.
In a scene like the hit TV show "White Collar", the FBI set up a sting operation where the two attempted to sell the valuable painting to undercover agents. No word on who played Niel Caffery but the original painting was recovered.
