The Antiquities Trade Is About To Get Reined In

Or at least, that’s the hope of the U.S. Congress. “Regulators have long worried that the opacity of the antiquities trade, where buyers and sellers are seldom identified, even to the parties in a transaction, made it an easy way to shroud illicit transfers of money. The new legislation empowers federal regulators to design measures that would remove secrecy from transactions.” – The New York Times
