The supposed clairvoyants were unable to predict the arrival of the police. Last week, the last members of the gang on the loose were arrested by the police. Mrs Stanesco and her father claimed they were facing threats in jail and were transferred to a safer sector to maintain your physical integrity.
This should answer this question from BoingBoing…

Seriously, you don’t ever have to put the word “fake” in front of the word “psychic”. It’s like saying “they went swimming in wet water.”

All told, the suspects stole 16 paintings and sculptures,
and
$142 million (724 million reais) worth of artwork, jewelry and money,
A hell of a lot of money and jewellery, or some very expensive (multi-million dollar a piece) bits of artwork. Probably a bit of both, but these artworks must have been serious pieces at those prices.

To be fair, in the end, they weren’t wrong? I mean they turned a young woman against her own mother… That would be the dramatic irony in my movie version at least…

She should have splurged on real psychics.

Exactly.
"A Brazilian woman used fake psychics… " as opposed to “real” ones?

At first glance, I thought the headline said “fake physics”. My mind went to, she floated the paintings away with an anti-gravity machine?
