Being realistic instead of assuming the legal scrutiny level of a judge, the burden of proof is on them here IMO. When you spend millions of dollars on antiquities, you are at least casually interested in their provenance... Especially when you've hired an expert.

Isn't that kind of the point of hiring an expert? If you knew the provenance of an item, what it was worth, and how it was obtained, why waste money on hiring an expert?

  ...to verify that you are correct and the items are genuine.

    And in antiques, just like art, verification by the right expert(s) is what makes it genuine for most people.
