It’s truly amazing some of the research done to try build a picture of this guy and his background and what activities he might have been up to.Many WSleuths found a bunch of information on the Coppenolle /CAPPENALLE coins, antiquities and books whcih started way back in Feb 2022 I think it was.
A few artifacts and books to go with the coins
*Roman, bronze fibula, (c.1st century B.C.), length 28mm, with iron hinged fibula, complete, (Lucien Lerat 151-169). With partial green and has been professionally cleaned, fine - very fine, rare, comes with collector's card description.
Ex Coppenolle Collection and recovered from ditches of Alesia.
I couldn't imagine him digging for it

Ex Coppenolle Collection. This book now out of print, a most extensive and important study on this period of Ch'ing dynasty cash. Originally a doctoral dissertation to the University of Munich. The author has observed minute variations in the general cash issues and from the original Chinese sources was able to establish a chronology on a yearly basis for all the mints for the Chinese rulers from 1616-1735. The second study completing the issues of cash to 1910 was never published.Lot 5079 - Literature - Numismatic - Sale 95 - Noble Numismatics
Ex Collection of Mgr. Franz Ernst von Salm- Reifferscheid (1698-1770), Bishop of Tournai (1731-1770); to the collection of the Abbot Georges Dufour, cure of the Parish of St.Piat in Tournai (died 1939) by descent; acquired by grandfather (died 1949) by succession then to the current collector's grandmother, Maria Coppenolle de Froyennes (died 1990).Lot 1627 - World Gold Coins - Sale 126 - Noble Numismatics
Franz Ernst von Salm- Reifferscheid...?
He received the ordination to the priesthood on October 27, 1726. Salm-Reifterscheid was elected Bishop of Tournai. On March 23, 1732, he was ordained a bishop. He remained this until he died in 1770....Count François-Ernest de SALM-REIFFERSCHEID was linked by his double name to two equally illustrious families.
Abbot Georges Dufour .....???? Haven't been able to find a thing on Abbot.... anyone else find anything?
Found a Guillaume Henri Dufour - Guillaume-Henri Dufour, (born September 15, 1787, Konstanz, Austrian Empire [now in Germany]—died July 14, 1875, Les Contamines, near Geneva, Switzerland), engineer and army officer who was elected four times to supreme command of the Swiss army.... who had banknotes and coins commemorating him.
BUT there are a few interesting link to other Dufours who sound much more like someone / something AKA would align to / know of / family connection of /
DUFOUR André
born on November 22, 1920. After obtaining his Baccalaureate in Maths Elem, he intended for a military career and completed his preparation for the Military School of Saint-Cyr, but that closed due to war. He escapes from France and is imprisoned in Spain. He enlisted in Casablanca and took part in the fights for the liberation of France.
After the war, he worked as a sales representative and management controller for various companies. Placed under the sign of dedication and generosity, his life is that of a committed and courageous man. He was treasurer of the Amicale des Anciens of the 2nd D.B of SaintGermain-en-Laye. He was holder of the Croix de Guerre 39-45.
( there is more on this link to Dufour in relation to other people connected to the family)
And there is a Georges Dufour - who also seems to have a connection to the families associated to AKA
""Born in Verviers in 1913 and died near Liège in 2012, the Missionary of Africa - White Father - Georges Dufour had obtained his doctorate in pedagogical sciences at the age of 73. At that age, he had been a well-known pedagogue in Africa for many years already. Arriving in the Congo, he was appointed inspector in charge of education in Bukavu, a city located in the east of the country. But his life's work was the launching of a Catholic youth movement called Xaveri.
“The essence of Father Dufour's work is the implementation of an integral pedagogy starting from the social environment in which the person has flourished”, affirms the lawyer from Liège Bienfait Kalinda. “Education in Africa or in Europe is not at all the same thing. The disciplines learned at school must marry the local mold and respect the context in which they flourished, in this case the African context. This vision of Father Dufour was truly revolutionary. Father Georges Dufour also insisted that the courses be given in an international language, e.g. English or French. This should not be seen as a rejection of local languages. But he was convinced that the Congolese could thus communicate better and make a leap forward in the field of learning international languages.
The creation of the Xaveri movement occupied a special place in Father Dufour's pedagogy. "The classic model of the youth movement as we know it in Europe does not work in Africa", underlines Kalinda. “The first mission to teach is to learn collectively, for example teaching techniques such as building a bridge or making a fire. A second mission was essentially religious. Father Dufour understood that religion was an essential dimension among Africans. He tried to organize his pedagogy around these elements. Both aspects can be found in his motto: Charity always. »
The Xaveri youth movement is now active in seven African countries. Father Dufour died in a nursing home near Liège but his remains were transferred to Bukavu. A rare fact because it goes against today's missionary instructions which stipulate that the remains of missionaries be repatriated to their native country. When he died, tens of thousands of people came to pay their last respects to Father Dufour. “In Kivu, Father Georges Dufour is considered a saint because of his works of charity and his empathy,” says Bienfait Kalinda. He was a true missionary for Africa.""

The patron of Xaveri South Africa is Saint Francis Xavier.

Thinking Saints have nothing to do with this saga? Think again.

I wonder why the TLV podcast team are holding back on the interview they did with MC? We have had subsequent witnesses come forward and quoted. I really want to hear her side of the story.
That's because he knew her husband well.
Oh me also @Lord Peter Flimsy !

IMHO he uses various ways of finding his victims. Whether through family or acquaintances, reading newspaper notices, lonely hearts ads, just sitting on their own having a coffee. If they fit his criteria they all come alike.

I've always wondered this. From the time we heard JO (was it?) who was threatened in the same way. I think it entirely possible Marion did answer the ad, and it didn't go anywhere. AKA set her up later with the anonymous tips phoned in to Marion's school. He had such a chaotic, busy life but we know he fancies himself smarter and more powerful than everyone else. A control freak. So then he shows up at the Art Centre. Any of this is possible.

It was Ginette Gafney-Bowen.
From the first time we found out about RB I wondered if he might have been behind Marion leaving the school and presenting himself as a shoulder to cry on.
Then what happened to Ginette made me think it even more strongly.

Thank you! Yes, I did the same. Marion was so happy at the school, it seems just like him to destroy that for her.

We can only hope that anyone protecting him now realise that this story isn't going away and that there are so many invested in continuing to dig deeper into his past and provide more evidence of his fraud and deception.

Is there anyway The Australian with its ownership and connections can push this story into the National press in the UK?
I’ve no doubt this story extends far beyond Belgium, Luxembourg & Australia. Indonesia, North Africa, Netherlands, France, Hungary all seem to play a part at some point.

A great article exposing the con artist even more. Obviously, the police have lifted their game and are taking Marion's disappearance along with his fraudulent activities more seriously and more people are coming forward with information. "Hands in the air Mr Blum"

Hopefully the wheels are in motion
Thank you so much for this explanation, gymtonic. It's not a term I had heard before so your enlightenment on this is much appreciated and makes total sense to me. Lost in translation to us non French speakers for sure!
Cannot wait to read this! Darn paywall!A great article exposing the con artist even more.

That's correct. Lots of these mags available on Amazon and around the world.
So many more questions in my head.

Worked for coin dealer Status International for a short time, about 1999. His job was to mail out coins. Parcels started going missing. Owner says he can't make accusations but it was while he had the job of posting the parcels that six valuable consignments went missing.
He got there at 5am each day, four hours before he was supposed to.
He stole their mailing list. His name there was Richard West. Owner says he
left without saying goodbye. The owner got word from Barry Cooper in Ballina, that he'd offered Barry a copy of Status Internationals mailing list.
Recent years Status International had a new customer, Ric Blum. They didn't know it was the same person at the time
