I guess those who said that we have to give this restorer the "benefit of the doubt" will now accept that he is *GUILTY* of forging movie posters (whether or not he was "aware" of what purpose they would be used for), since he admits to it himself.
Given this news, are there still people here who think they should send their posters to this person for restoration? How can you know that *YOU*won't receive a reproduction in return? And what of the many, many posters he restored for many dealers and auction houses over the past three years? Don't they all need to be checked over closely. I applaud this person for "doing the right thing", but I certainly would advise him to find a new line of work.
