The Humberts were arrested in Madrid after a long French legal saga over a supposed $20 million fortune. Mme Humbert lived lavishly, founded a life insurance company, and moved in Paris’ top circles while selling paintings as copies and leaving creditors unpaid. The supposed nephews never appeared, the fortune proved mythical, and loans with Paris bankers totaled about $10 million.
