<p>[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 8129820, member: 74624"]I know I'm late to the table but that's my MO these days. This story reminded me of a similar story about the billionaire Green family who owns Hobby Lobby. They were acquiring religious artifacts, with many of them being ones plundered from museums when the Iraqi regime fell. They were caught and fined several million dollars and ordered to return many of them. What really irks me about this family is that they paint themselves as these devoutly religious people, preaching their values to everyone else. Yet, they get caught knowingly acquiring stolen artifacts. They make a big deal about telling everyone that none of their employees work on Sunday (their stores are closed). Yet, when I lived in Oklahoma (where they are based), I'd see Hobby Lobby trucks on the interstates routinely on Sundays. I guess they make an exception to their religious rules for truckers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
