i realize it's hard to prove, but I can't believe they've managed to fly under the criminal justice radar for so long. No wonder they've become so bold and pervasive. It's beyond disgusting.

Dealers and auction houses either have been complicit or the honest ones, in large part, have just done nothing and enjoyed the price umbrella. The people protesting have mostly been shouted down. Law enforcement has, for reasons of its own, not viewed it as a priority at least in the past. It's the perfect storm.
