Sharp eyed David Gill has spotted some interesting names in a list published as part of the ACCG case against import restrictions on Italian antiquities without documentation of lawful export. Apart from the IAPN and ACCG-related names there, he notes others:
The list is well worth a look as it includes a New York private collector who has returned material to Italy, a New York based antiquities dealer who has returned material to Italy, and two museum curators whose collections have returned material to Italy.I also see on the list a ranty US coin dealer who lives in an area that on Google Earth looks like a dump, back in 1999 lived in an area that looks even more like a dump, even the surroundings of locatable UK metal detectorists living on council estates look more appealing from the satellite. Also back in 1999 the ratio White Hat Guys: Black Hat Guys submitting comments was more favourable, are there now fewer of us, or more of them? Or have White Hat Guys been going over to the Dark Side in the intervening period?
