Yea, they got caught buying looted artifacts from terrorists. The were fined, but a billionaire getting a few million fine is no big deal for them. Hopefully the artifacts will go to a secure museum and be returned some day if the area is ever secure from daesh.

This is a crazy story, I can't believe it's not getting more coverage.

HL buying them was the best thing that would happen to them, otherwise they would get destroyed or end up in some collection and never ever be seen again.

Problem with people buying them is now the terrorists have funding, as much as I hate to see history destroyed, I would rather they didn't get the money- I realize it's a slippery slope as someone else might just buy them too, so money is received either way. One of those questions that might not have an answer?
