    Who could but such things but very wealthy private collectors? We’re these items sold, pre-heist?

      these were not for sale. These were, like, artifacts of national importance. It’s not the gold of them that is valued so much as it is the historical value.

        I realize that. Surely the robbers knew they couldn’t sell them on the open market. I’m asking if some unethical private collector paid to acquire.
