I wonder how many of these will end up being sold in the black market - this time by government officials?

More than likely a better question would be... How many HAVE been sold on the black market by gov't officials? I sure am glad I am not the person who got caught. I imagine some horrible experience awaits him pretty soon. The loss of body parts and/or life is a distinct possibility.

And the best part of that (from the government officials point of view) is after they sell them they just wait until they show up on the market again , demand their confiscation as "stolen cultural artifacts" and once they are confiscated and returned they can sell them again!. (Lather, rinse, repeat)
