"The Woodruff Arts Center then initiated an external investigation that 'ultimately traced the irregularities back to High Museum COO Brady Lum, who had been placed on administrative leave during this period and has since resigned.' Lum reportedly tendered his resignation on December 9, though it is unclear when the art center became aware of his involvement in the alleged theft."
"US Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg told Hyperallergic in a statement that his Atlanta office received information from the Woodruff Arts Center's attorneys on Tuesday, February 24, and 'relayed it to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for review.'"
The High Museum of Art in Atlanta discovered financial irregularities in December, prompting an external investigation by the Woodruff Arts Center. The investigation traced the irregularities to Brady Lum, who served as the museum's chief operating officer since 2019. Approximately $600,000 was determined to have been stolen. Lum was placed on administrative leave during the investigation and subsequently resigned on December 9. The investigation findings were shared with the US Attorney's Office in Atlanta and the FBI for further action. Lum, a Harvard MBA graduate with prior executive experience at Special Olympics International and Coca-Cola, declined to comment when contacted by reporters.
