Larceny probe eyes missing art dealer
You have Julien Tavener (Haley & Steele) on your web site. He is now a suspected criminal being investigated by the FBI. I feel that this is potentially damaging and embarrasing for your terrific Museum
The following appeared on Boston.com:

Thanks for pointing out this article in the Boston Globe newspaper. We were not aware of this previously, and have no information concerning such allegations. The CPRR Museum has no business relationship with that firm or individual. Our website does contain an acknowledgement of the source of a few digital images scanned from prints from the 1853 Pacific Railroad Surveys. It is important to heed the numerous warnings on our website that links, etc. are not merchant endorsements, and we definitely do mean it, when we say (in Latin) "buyer beware." The CPRR.org User Agreement elaborates this warning and disclaimer in excrutiating detail, stating:
"DISCLAIMER OF ENDORSEMENT: CPRR.org does not recommend or endorse external websites which should open in a new browser window. This website ... has hyperlinks or references ("links") to other "third-party" external websites that are not part of the CPRR Photographic History Museum, are beyond our control, and may include information regarding third party offers. CPRR.org has not investigated or verified the legitimacy of such merchants, does not endorse, is not a party to, and takes no responsibility for third party offers whether on a linked website, published on this website, or found elsewhere, nor for the persons or entities operating such websites. If you choose to do business with such third parties, which you agree is entirely at your own risk, we strongly urge you to check best prices, verify the merchant's reputation, and make payments only by credit card so that you will have the possibility of recourse by initiating a chargeback should the merchant prove dishonest, and you agree not to complain to us if you don't follow our advice and as a result have a problem. All trademarks and brands are the property of their respective owners, and any use of third-party trademarks on this website is for nominative and/or descriptive purposes only, and does not imply any third-party affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement. ...

Caveat Emptor."
