How Donald Trump Spent New Year’s Eve With a Convicted Art Thief
"Joey No Socks" Cinque has a checkered past.
To mark the occasion, Cinque presented Trump with a large painted statue of an eagle, which he dubbed a “one-of-a kind bronze Eagle award,” on behalf of the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences, reports the Daily Beast. Cinque is director of the for-profit organization, which bestows Star Diamond Awards, the self-described “most prestigious award of true excellence,” to high-end hotels and restaurants.
According to a profile published in New Yorkmagazine in April 1995, however, Cinque also has a checkered past, with one colorful incident involving fine art:
In 1989, Cinque was arrested on felony charges; police had retrieved a gallery’s worth of stolen art from his apartment. Though police had arrived armed with a search warrant, Cinque had refused to let them in—so they’d called in a battering ram and broken down his front door. Inside they’d found two Chagall prints, valued at more than $20,000 apiece, that had recently been stolen from the Center Art Gallery on 57th Street, and a $9,000 Cecille Schatzberg sculpture stolen from the Lever Brothers Gallery on Park Avenue.Cinque was convicted of a felony for possession of stolen property, and received a “conditional discharge” in 1990, reports CNN.
In May, Trump denied knowledge of Cinque’s criminal past. “If a guy’s going to give you an award, you take it,” he told the Associated Press. “You don’t tend to look up his whole life story.”
In addition to having accepted Star Diamond awards for over a dozen of his golf courses, hotels, casinos, and private clubs, Trump was reportedly listed as an “ambassador extraordinaire” on the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences website as recently as 2015.
According to CNN, Trump praised Cinque in a 2009 promotional video for the academy, saying, “There’s nobody like him. He’s a special guy.” The former felon also judged the 2008 Miss Universe Contest alongside Trump, and attended the businessman-turned-politician’s 59th birthday party.
At Mar-a-Lago, Trump reportedly gave a speech on stage with Cinque, repeating his campaign promises to lower taxes and build a wall, informing guests, “all I can tell you is we’re gonna do a good job.”
Found Levitan's paintings stolen in Museum PLICSCOM
In the course of military operations of police, FSB and Regardie was detained robbers, suspects in the theft of five paintings from the Museum Leviathan in Plyos. Picture found
the Official message about the successful completion of the operation appeared today on the website of the MIA of Russia. The paintings of Russian painter Isaac Levitan stolen 2.5 years ago from a Museum in the Ivanovo region, was discovered after the arrest of suspects in a cottage in the Moscow region.
On account of criminals, according to the interior Ministry, — robbery at a Bank in Nizhny Novgorod, attacks on collectors, and on employees of traffic police. The suspects in these crimes was 33@- 37-летний residents of Nizhny Novgorod. Together with them, police also detained 29-летний a resident of one of the Neighboring countries under investigation. Criminals found during the search of "a Quiet river" by Levitan. And later in Nizhniy Novgorod security officers was discovered the other four stolen painting of Isaac Levitan.
Recall that the resonant robbery of the Museum in the town of ples in Ivanovo region took place in August 2014, . Night, breaking glass, the attackers stole five of Levitan's works: "the Ravine behind the fence", "Quiet river", "Substation", "River Creek" and "Roses."
Adds that the Museum robbery in our day have little to no economic sense. To sell with the noise of the stolen paintings and drawings is almost impossible, and the existence of a certain of a developed "black market" things like — is rather an exaggeration. Collectors in life not buy such, and unskilled attempts to sell stolen paintings or fuss with their transportation rather withdraw the police on the trail of criminals. So recently , Ukraine with the stolen Italian paintings. So it was with the paintings, stolen in the Munch Museum. Sooner or later caught. And those who were trying to sell. And those who tried to blackmail the government, threatening the destruction of masterpieces. Criminals operating in Russia the lack of a unified public or paid information databases of stolen valuables. Now the information about the missing apply via our forum, groups on Facebook, the website of the Ministry of culture and other channels. Single point of collecting information yet. But I think it's only a matter of time.
In the case of theft is a frequent problem complicating the search for and dissemination of information about the incident, is the simple lack of high quality photos and detailed descriptions of the works from the owner. It often happens that the picture hanging on the wall over the years, pleases its owner, and describe her simply do not come to mind: neither the picture, nor the exact size to remove. Perhaps not useful. Even more likely. But every story with the abduction or loss of the paintings is a "bell" that every collector and every owner of works of art is useful to concerned with this issue. Just in case. Let it be at hand.
