Robert Wittman (@robertwittman) is the former senior investigator/creator of the FBI's national art crime team and author of Priceless: How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World's Stolen Treasures.

What We Discuss with Robert Wittman:

  • Why criminal and terrorist organizations find art less risky to smuggle than contraband like cash, drugs, or guns.
  • The three things that make an art piece valuable: provenance, authenticity, and good title.
  • Why the US has only relatively recently begun to take art crime seriously, whereas Italy's art crime team has a freaking submarine!
  • Simple but effective tactics for remaining undercover without arousing suspicion from the targets.
  • Why losing his fear instinct was a clear signal for Robert to retire from undercover work for good.
  • And much more...
