Did he buy the painting for millions? I don't see that in the article, but if so, then maybe that person should have asked him before buying.

About a third of the way down the article it says:

>The retired corrections officer, Robert Fletcher, 62, said he bought the painting for $100 from a man named Pete Doige (spelled with an e), whom he met in 1975 in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

In short, no.
