Quick answer: They sell them at around 10% value on the black market, or use them as bargaining chips if they're arrested for other crimes.
Clickbait titles leading to long fluffy non-answer pieces can do one.
- bryanmgreen 6y agoDon't forget using them as black-market currency too.
- hummel 6y agoIt is also used as an escrow/counterparty between the mafia members, most of the time it serves as a guarantee or deposit, it has no intrinsic economic value. In very few cases it's a go-to jail/ out of jail card.
- mariusz331 6y agoWould this be a better title? "Art Thieves Usually Sell Stolen Art on the Black Market for ~10% of Market Value" edit: I think I'd be more inclined to click this title than the original.
- corobo 6y agoHonestly it doesn't even need to be that. In the ideal world they'd write the title in a way that makes it look like an interesting read, don't try to trick me into clicking. It doesn't neccesarily have to have the info in the title, I know they've got folks to pay and that. A question title? I'll always try to answer it in the comments if I've got the time. I find it funny to do so, and it helps others. Question titles are just lazy journalism, then to go on to ask for money to read the article. Haha. No.
