"Million Dollar" D-Bag's Alleged Jade Heist

Josh FlaggJosh Flagg -- the death profiteer from "Million Dollar Listing" -- could get away with allegedly ... you guessed it ... profiting off another dead person.

The estate of Marcia Israel -- who created Judy's clothing stores -- is suing Flagg for allegedly obtaining a bunch of extremely expensive paintings and Jade sculptures that were supposed to be reserved for the Marcia Israel Foundation.

Flagg allegedly got hold of the goods after they mysteriously disappeared from Israel's L.A. mansion -- when Israel's husband temporarily was staying there in 2004 after her death, according to the docs.

A private investigator claims to have snapped photos of the missing goods through the window of Flagg's home.

Here's the kicker: Flagg's lawyers claim Israel's estate has no case against him now because the statute of limitations has run out.

Flagg is being sued for damages for the alleged "wrongful taking of personal property."

19. Actually the estate can get the art pieces back if they take it to court all they have to prove is ownership and he would have to prove hes rightfully intitled to the art. If the pieces are worth as much as they are it would be worth it...Stolen property is stolen property no matter how long its been taken just ask the jewish population who are geting back their stuff 50+ years after the Nazis stole it from them. Flaggs attorney knows this hes just puffing for the press---- which means hes trying to stall for time and get the upper hand in the litgation-- typical lawyer defending a client

21. He is being currently filmed for the new season of Million Dollar Listing. I hope BRAVO is going to do something good for a change and show him as a total D-Bag that he is. When is the new season airing? I can't wait to see all of this from the comfort of my own living room.

22. I want to see the LA criminal prosecuter reopen the criminal proceedings on the case. This bitch needs to learn his lesson and justice needs to be finally be served. He gives Jews a bad name. I love the show.

23. Apparently the word on the street is this parasite is banned from many luxury enclaves and high-rises from Santa Monica to West Hollywood. People won't even let him in the door at the exclusive buildings as they are afraid he will steal steal steal and stink stink stink up the hallways and leave droppings of hair along the way.

He is running scared and apparently still stealing along the way according to this.

Having come across this thief his reputation both personally and professionally is highly in question. He gives all angelinos a bad name. Apparently he has been arrested for public sexual stunts in West Hollywood and stealing art... now this. His business dealings are a joke.

It is a sad day when someone who could have done something grand and good went down the road of the stink bomb that he is....

24. i would never steal from anyone at anytime so the first comment is null.....the guy is a jerk as i've watched him on this show and the guy is obviously a jerk but stealing is wrong any way you put it....my grandfather always told me people who steal are going to the same place as the people who lie and cheat others!...power to the grandfather!

25. Lock up your jewels, statues, and anything worth over 2 bucks! Vaseline Butt Monkey is on the move yet again. Grannie must have sprung him from the other cases but now more valuables are missing and looks who face is on TMZ yet again.

If you see a scary person with soap hanging out their ass showing up at your estate with some papers to sign and a uhaul out front... don't open the door!

Jail is a beautiful place for Flagg but he might steal the bars and try to sell them too. Maybe someone in jail could teach him some lessons... but then again he would probably enjoy the lesson.

California Real Estate Bar Listen UP! Revoke this monkey thief's license and ship him to alcatraz to that special hole.

29. The lack of filing by the DA does not mean anything. He is not factually innocent. Now you see why Ronald Richards didn't want that toole in his condo on the show.
