About this audio guide
This guide to the Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum in Miami traces how a pharmaceutical billionaire and major university donor got his name on this glass-and-steel building in 2008, and the SEC investigation, unsealed a decade later, accusing him of running a stock scheme worth twenty seven million dollars. You'll hear how prosecutors say the scheme worked and who else was drawn into it. Look up at the gold lettering above the entrance as you listen.
