Sun Yuchen posted on X Breakthrough, saying, "David Geffen is launching a personal attack on me. No matter how he slanders my reputation, 'Le Nez' is my legitimate property, and I have full confidence in retrieving it Previously, it was reported that Sun Yuchen has sued billionaire collector David Geffen, demanding the return of Alberto Giacometti's sculpture "Le Nez", claiming that a rogue art consultant sold the work to David Geffen through forged signatures and carefully planned fictitious lawyers. Sun Yuchen purchased "Lenez" at Sotheby's for $78.4 million in 2021, claiming that his former advisor Xiong Zihan Sydney planned the transaction without his consent, forged documents, and even impersonated a lawyer via email to push the deal forward. Now Sun Yuchen wants his sculpture back, 'or get a huge compensation'. David Geffen's lawyer Tibor L. Nagy stated that the lawsuit is "absurd and unfounded" and hinted that Sun Yuchen only regrets the transaction. The complaint does not contain any allegations that Geffen has any connection or relationship with Xiong. The transaction was made through an intermediary, "Nagy said." If Sun Yuchen is dissatisfied with the transaction made for him by the intermediary one year later, there is no reason to make a claim against David Geffen
