Funder Tried to Hijack Kandinsky Art Theft Suits, Collector Says

The family of the late art collector Uthman Khatib is accusing LitFin, its funder in the pursuit of around 871 Russian avant-garde paintings believed to have been stolen, of refusing to pay legal bills unless it can directly steer the lawsuits, violating their funding agreement. LitFin has responded that the company doesn’t comment publicly on ongoing proceedings, and that it is committed to transparency and responsible litigation funding.
