disappeared while Matthew helped the Israeli moving company Northstar /Moishe's move me into my very first apartment in July 1997 when I was 20 years old in Los Angeles. In retrospect there was a clear plot taking place, and I was introduced to Epstein early on at a bar next to were Matthew Settle Lived. I heard call him on the phone and ask on speaker phone sometime between April- June of 1997 if Matthew had her money yet. He said to me she would send the Serbian mafia to hurt him if he didn't come up with the money. He did not mention that my artwork was where the money was going to come from. The friend of mine who told her serbian friends about my artwork which started chain of events culminating in the disappearance of all of my artwork is named Jasmine Dashtizad. One of my stolen paintings is of Bill Clinton's head on a woman (Hillary Clinton's) body. I painted it between November 1995 to January 1996. I was a teenager. I drew my own dental impressions in the Ray Johnson estate collage, I also drew one of my fingerprints. And that art is made out of pieces of my high school calendar which fell apart from overuse, so I glued the pieces onto thick cardstock and drew designs and draeings around the glued pieces. I also traced my own handprints on that art. I also drew a replica of the art on the cover of my 12th grade high school play production program and I also wrote the fictional bio of Ray Johnson.

Additional Info: Ray johnson estate - online website - the artwork is listed in the Smithsonian museum's online art and is falsely attributed to a deceased person in the art gallery world named David Bourdain or Bourdan for the year 1998. It was stolen from me in July 1997.

Petrina Ryan Kleid has an online presence and has many fake articles written about my artwork falsely attributed to herself.

One of those paintinhs was originally a painting of Dan Quayle, but someone has painted over the face to make it look like George Bush Jr. Instead. That painting used to depict a note tacked on to the wall that spelled potato wrong (potatoe) which was crossed out and underneath was written the correct spelling of potatoes. Also, my signature used to be

on the front of the desk but it has been painted over. I usually used permanent marking pen ink for my signature, so it probably can be detected using the appropriate technologies for analyzing art. This applies to all of my stolen paintings. But my drawings were often signed in pencil but I drew my fingerprint, my dental impressions and my traced handprints on the Ray Johnson estate art that is listed in the Smithsonian. There is a lot more information about fraud and forgery going on with Sotheby's London 2017 and db henkel in traverse city. It would like to share all information in depth, so that all of these fake /forged worthless paintings that were stolen from me can be removed permanently from the big money art market and hopefully returned to me because they belong to me, they are sentimental personal property and I will never get over this until these people are stopped from their art fraud. Another gake artist has a serbian name Biljana Djurdjevic and Tony Podesta bought all of those stolen paintings of mine, including one that is a self portrait of myself at 19 years old.

How is Contact Known: this is the person who owed the Serbian- Canadian model money who was connected to Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Jean Luc Brunel, Ghislaine Maxwell, Elle McPherson and her manager Stuart, the professional magician J.B. Benn

Age: 50

DOB:

Additional Info: His full name is Jeffrey Matthew Settle

He became a very successful actor immediately after all my artwork disappeared. He also was friends with Lady Victoria Hervey a member of the aristocracy of England at the time when all of my paintings disappeared. I had shown him every single painting I had ever made.

was friends with "a princess of Yugoslavia" but I don't kniw which princess this was. She also in recent years has been publicly linked to Prince Andrew. Jb Benn the magician was also very closely involved in grooming me yo meet ghislaine maxwell in New York in April 1997 when I was forced by Matthew Settle to go stay with JB in NYC for a week in the bedroom of his roommate Urim Lekaj who was an Albanian model who went to Los Angeles while I was staying in his bedroom in Manhatten at JB's apartment. JB took me to a dinner with reservations required where Ghislaine was sitting at the table next to us and asked me for my contact number to send me modeling castings. I looked 15 even though I was 20 years old at that time in 1997. I am only 5 ft 3 1/2 inches tall and I was never photogenic enough to do modeling. It was all a scam ... and I think the goal was primarily to steal all of my artwork which according to sothebys, thd Smithsonian, Adler-Beatty Gallery, Adelson Gallery, DB henkel forged paintings that are my stolen paintings, ALL OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED ARE MAKING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SELLING MY STOLEN PAINTINGS WITH FORGED SIGNATURES AND FALSE PROVENANCE.

How is Contact Known: He very suspiciously showed up outside an audition I was sent to by the parent of one of my classmates, and began a love fraud fake romantic relationship with me in July of 1996 which ended abruptly a year later in July 1997 right after all of my artwork disappeared. He was also good friends with Mark Epstein who he talked about a lot. Instead of encouraging me to use my art portfolio to apply
