Former High Museum COO Pleads Not Guilty to Federal Theft Charges

Brady Lum, the former Chief Operating Officer of Atlanta’s High Museum of Art, has pleaded not guilty to federal charges involving the theft of approximately $600,000. Prosecutors allege that between 2019 and 2024, Lum manipulated financial records and altered invoices to fund personal luxuries, including high-end musical instruments and private lessons. The discrepancies were discovered during an internal investigation by the Woodruff Arts Center, leading to Lum's resignation in December and a subsequent referral to federal authorities.
