Southern District Judge Katherine Forrest said there was no evidence that Robert Roistacher, who was dating a member of the family that fought to recover a painting seized by the Nazis, ever expected to be paid, although some compensation would be "morally appropriate," she wrote.

A man who helped a family in a 13-year fight to recover an Egon Schiele painting seized by the Nazis after Germany annexed Austria in 1938 is not entitled to a share of the compensation they received, a federal judge has ruled.
Robert Roistacher claimed he was entitled to $2.75 million of a $19 million settlement that the estate of Lea Bondi Jaray reached with the Leopold Museum of Austria in 2010 over Schiele’s “Portrait Of Wally.”
