Does anyone have any detailed information about Maria Brockway and Forever Legends other than that regarding the FBI's investigation about her and authenticator Christopher Morales (from the Royal Arts scandal) ? I unfortunately, began purchasing autographed albums, posters, and signed movie stills from her in 2004 and have spent a great deal of money on those items. During the Autograph Live sponsored Beatles album census, I had three expensive Beatles albums from her, checked out and they were determined to have been produced by the "notorious Southern California forger". Brockway herself was located south of Los Angeles. Did she ever operate a legitimate business or was she selling forgeries from the start ? Where is she now ?

Did the FBI bring any charges against her, Bryan Slaven or Morales ?

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

Billy,

I'm sorry, I just saw this, almost six months after you wrote it. The FBI investigation went on for years but the Feds never filed charges. I don't know if they investigated Maria Brockway herself. She and Forever Legends appeared to go out of business shortly after the news came out in 2009.

Steve-

Thanks for your response. Several years ago I got a little information from the FBI, but I never filed the paperwork to get a full report of their investigation of her, Morales or Bryan Slaven. I know she was an older women ( I had  several phone conversations with her in the time I was buying from her) living in the Malibu area of Southern California and seemed to disappear after she'd been found out. I was hoping to find someone within your community who knew more about her and if she had ever sold anything legitimate. I've finally written the whole thing off as a bad business deal, and have destroyed everything I purchased from her (and Slaven).
