An anonymous complainant submitted an FBI tip in 2020 alleging a complex conspiracy involving actor Matthew Settle, art theft, and grooming connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The complainant claims their art portfolio was stolen in 1997 via a staged romance and moving company scam, and that the art has since been sold for millions by high-profile figures like Tony Podesta and through Sotheby's. The tipster also details being groomed to meet Ghislaine Maxwell in NYC in 1997 through magician J.B. Benn.
