Key player in Norval Morrisseau forgery ring pleads guilty

James White, a central figure in a long-running forgery ring producing fake artworks by Indigenous Canadian artist Norval Morrisseau, pleaded guilty in Ontario Superior Court to creating forged documents and trafficking forged artworks. White admitted to trafficking 502 fake works, some sold for tens of thousands of dollars. The plea follows a multi-year investigation called Project Totton, led by Inspector Jason Rybak of the Thunder Bay Police Service, which uncovered three large forgery networks operating in Ontario. Two other alleged accomplices, Paul Bremner and Jeffrey Cowan, still face charges, while earlier guilty pleas from David Voss and Gary Lamont resulted in five-year prison sentences.

Commentary: This year's Met Gala proved one thing: The real devil who wears Prada is Jeff Bezos

Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sánchez Bezos served as honorary co-chairs and sponsors of this year's Met Gala, sparking widespread protests and calls for boycotts. Guerrilla activist group Everyone Hates Elon plastered New York with anti-Bezos signage, and activists placed 300 bottles filled with fake urine inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art to highlight Amazon workers' bathroom break complaints. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani declined his invitation, and the absence of celebrities like Meryl Streep and Zendaya fueled speculation about a boycott, though representatives denied any coordinated protest. Despite the controversy, the gala proceeded with many attendees and is expected to raise more than last year's $31 million for the Costume Institute.

Egypt Unveils a Hidden Tomb of 3,500-Year-Old Coffins at Luxor’s Abu el-Naga

An Egyptian archaeological mission excavating at the Abu El-Naga necropolis near Luxor has uncovered a cache of ten well-preserved painted wooden coffins hidden in the courtyard shaft of the tomb of Baki. The coffins span multiple periods, including the 18th Dynasty, the Ramesside period, and the Late Period, with inscriptions naming individuals such as Merit, a chantress of the god Amun, and Padi-Amun, a priest in the Temple of Amun. The team also discovered the tomb of a purification priest named A-Shafi-Nakhtu, decorated with funerary scenes, and a burial site containing over 30 mummified cats from the Ptolemaic Period. The discoveries were announced by Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, with the excavation season beginning in November 2025.
