The investigation into Norval Morrisseau art fraud reached a pivotal moment as James White pleaded guilty to key charges in Ontario Superior Court. As a central figure in a forgery operation, White was involved in producing and distributing fake Indigenous art, including pieces falsely attributed to Morrisseau. Inspector Jason Rybak's investigation, Project Totton, has led to several arrests and underscores the scale of the forgery operation in Canada. White's plea may have implications for ongoing cases against his accomplices and the art market at large.
White was a "ringleader" in a multi-layered forgery operation.
The investigation has already led to multiple arrests, including those of David Voss and Gary Lamont.
