After reading some books on art forgeries and the underground art market, someone recommended I check out the wine industry and told me it was just as bad if not worse.

I'd point people to another great Vanity Fair article about wine fraud:

This looks like the same guy / story :)

A similar documentary[0] around the art world blew my mind -- not only was one man fooling people into thinking his paintings were real, he was the one making them.

would love to watch it, but looks like it's only available in the US for some reason :/

A great novel with furniture fraud at its core is The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt.

Any documentary that has one of the Koch brothers losing millions of dollars to fraud made possible by his greed gets a thumbs up from me.
