For decades, Michael Steinhardt displayed a rapacious appetite for plundered artifacts without concern for the legality of his actions, the legitimacy of the pieces he bought and sold, or the grievous cultural damage he wrought across the globe, District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said in a news release.

Yes, let's make a big deal out of behaviors that are offensive but don't actually do any real-world harm, while just shrugging off all the exploitation involved in reaching and maintaining billionaire status in the first place. Glad to see the world has its priorities straight.

lifetime ban on acquiring antiquities But really though you have to love this 'punishment' "Okay, we'll let you go as long as you promise not to steal anymore." Like, how will this be enforced?
