From what I hear jail is only scary/bad if you have never experienced it before. I know I have several "friends" from childhood that would and have done 2+ years for way less cash than most on here make in a year.
Part of the sentence was also restitution of almost $90k for the 2 missing cards. Now whether that is collectable or not, I don't know.

Indeed. It's amazing how glibly the suspect could swear on his children's lives that he didn't do it.

Not sure why that's amazing. Criminals, and people in general, lie every day of their lives.

You can lie without swearing on your kids' lives that you're telling the truth. I just think that's bad karma. Maybe that's why I'm not a good criminal.

Walls were clearly closing in and he was getting desperate. Definitely don’t condone anything the perpetrator did, but I suppose it’s not surprising that he would resort to a Hail Mary just because there wasn’t much else he could do by then.

What is still most amazing is that Joe T states that they shipped these boxes regularly (maybe not with this much value) to a hotel that not only had no responsibility to safeguard it but without an agent of the auction house being on site. That puts the contents of those boxes at risk for loss each time. Incredibly irresponsible of the Memory Lane. And just because they had never had a box go missing prior to this event does not justify that they kept doing it.

From what I remember other people saying, Memory Lane isn't the only company that does this.
