In the article, it talks about one way for art thieves to get liquid with stolen art is to contact the insurance company and get paid ransom money. Insurer would rather pay 1/8th ransom than insured value.
- C4stor 8y agoI think it's still not exactly easy to call up basically admitting you've stolen the pieces, and end up with the money and not in jail. Even though I suppose there's more anonymous preserving ways to transfer money now than ever, so it should help.
- readhn 8y agowhats wrong with sending anonymous email along with a bitcoin address? at least they could have saved the paintings.
- C4stor 8y agoI highly doubt an insurance company would give any money prior to recovering the art and without a solid reason to think they'll recover them, but that's just a gut feeling.
