"The Foundation brings to the attention of the national and international public opinion that Shi Yulei, Sow Soulean Gohide and Adam Nicholas Elton, have stolen the identity of the FNM and of its president, claiming to be mandated by the Foundation for the acquisition of ancient and primitive art objects from international art dealers," the FNM warned in a statement.
The FNM would like to expose this scam and to emphasize that it has never mandated anyone to represent it or to acquire works abroad, the statement said, stressing that the Foundation reserves the right to take legal action in this matter.
