NO MORE HEISTS – Heists pause as Frederick battles his brothers in court…

  • 1983 (Lawsuits): Frederick and William Koch settle their lawsuit against brothers Charles and David, securing $1.1 Billion. This provides Frederick R. Koch with unmonitored liquidity to fund offshore and clandestine acquisitions.

  • The Proof: Corporate documents confirm he was operating under the alias “Ed Koch” in Miami years before the Gardner heist. He did not invent the alias at the Florida flea market in 1991; it was his established corporate shield.

  • Sept 3 (Labor Day) / Sept 9, 1990?: Houghton Hall, UK | Jean-Baptiste Oudry’s The White Duck.
    A localized anchor points to early September (potentially Labor Day, September 3, 1990), with local celebrations and fireworks noted as potential acoustic cover for the operation. MAYBE?
  • Dec 21, 1990: Mary Robinson Koch (Frederick’s mother) passes away, triggering a cascade of estate and inheritance instability.
  • Sept 24, 1991: Gardner suspect Robert Donati is found murdered.
  • Oct 7, 1991 (13 Days Later): A massive “suspicious” fire at the James Bourlet & Sons warehouse in London. They “burn” some type of evidence?
  • Nov 1991: “Ed Koch” (Frederick R. Koch) appears at an Okeechobee flea market. He sells the “damaged” checklist to my mother, Mary, for mere dollars. Read the notes written between them.
  • March 1992: My mother visits Sotheby’s they are willing to sell only the Jane Peterson on Kodak paper but none of the rest. The value they give it isn’t what Mr. Koch says it is worth. So she decides to wait until he visits her at the flea market again so she can get answers.
  • March 1992: Ed Koch’s departure via theatrical hospital scene and obituary. They use the newspaper to communicate.
  • April 20, 1992: Sotheby’s signs a contract with my mother for the Jane Peterson painting, proving the timeline of events. Sale was September 25, 1992. Didn’t sell at auction, but had an aftersale private offer. My mother declined the offer.
  • 1994: Letter written to Museum trying to return the artwork. This person has knowledge of the international art trading world. The letter is postmarked from New York (Frederick R. Koch has a home in New York). They use the newspaper to communicate. Boston Sunday Globe specifically on May 1, 1994
  • Nov 2000: Charles Darwin’s notebooks, including the famous “Tree of Life” sketch, were first discovered missing in January 2001 from Cambridge University Library, though they were last seen in November 2000 after being removed for photography, with the library concluding they were stolen around that time.
  • Feb 2002: I contact the Calder Foundation to submit the drawings, stating “Ed Koch, deceased” as the provenance from a flea market in Okeechobee in 1990 – though we later determined I was off by a year it was 1991 and 1992. I am sure Mr. Rower contacted the Koch brothers and they knew exactly what to say. They are the billionaires and get accusations against them all the time.
  • Feb 2002: Sold two paintings on eBay. If you view the original 2002 eBay listing for the Picasso drawing
  • Nov 2005: Anthony Amore is hired as the Director of Security and Chief Investigator, a position created specifically to recover the stolen art. Mr. Amore has zero art, museum, or crime experience – read more about that here.
  • March 2018:  Mailed binder evidence – White House Mar A Lago Ivanka Trump Fox News Museum – DELIVERED.  Fox News was delivered on March 20, 2018 at 1:24 pm after its journey (view that receipt here) –  view all the evidence on this page.
  • March 20, 2018: Anthony Amore officially announced his candidacy for Secretary of the Commonwealth.
  • Aug 23, 2019: David Koch dies. He was the most public and politically shielded of the brothers. The Darwin Notebooks were stolen for David Koch in 2000.
  • Feb 12, 2020: Frederick R. Koch dies. The primary architects are now off the board. Only two witnesses remain: William Koch and John Olsen. Plus Anthony Amore as the gatekeeper.
  • Oct 2020: Only after both brothers are deceased does Cambridge University finally “admit” the Darwin notebooks were stolen. For 20 years, they claimed the books were simply “misplaced”—waiting for a deathbed return that the Koch deaths finally triggered. I sent a tip and got confirmation see my youtube about it. The Return: The “Happy Easter” note in a pink bag is the same “Theatricality” as the “Portrait of a Rabbi” returned in a box by a man in a wig. It proves they treat these returns as a game.
  • Nov 10, 2020: Anthony Amore releases The Woman Who Stole Vermeer: Focuses on Rose Dugdale and the 1974 Russborough House heist.
  • Nov 24, 2020: I emailed Cambridge University my tip for the stolen Notepads. December 9th they respond that my tip is being forwarded to their police contact.
