How writing forged letters can get you published

Listen below to hear how Lee Israel forged letters of famous writers like Dorothy Parker and Noel Coward in order to sell to unsuspecting collectors and make a profit:



Not ONCE during this interview did my wife and I hear any mention of the CONSEQUENCES for profiting off of forgeries! Excuse me -- but did this woman go to jail over this? Was she sued? Please tell me there was some actual punishment. Isn't forgery a crime?

this woman IS getting REWARDED for forgeries. It is a COMPLETE INJUSTICE.

I demand JUSTICE! JUSTICE!

That audio doesn't work in Google Chrome, brother. I want a refund ... I wasted ten seconds of valuable download time.

Published ... or punished?

If you don't pay the time, you get rewarded for crime.

Are you guys doing this on purpose, cause you just reminded me of the next-to-last Prisoner episode where Number Six is taken back to his childhood education roots by Number Two? I'm just sayin', cause your referencing the Prisoner and Sesame Street. Pretty lame attempt to be ingenious like Alan Moore, if you ask me.
