NUMBER OF THE DAY
British authorities seized dinosaur skeletons worth this amount from a Chinese national suspected of money laundering
🦴 Curious haul: A 150-million-year-old Allosaurus mom with her baby and a Stegosaurus plus eleven Chinese artifacts and nine London apartments. The suspect still pockets 25% of the sale proceeds.
🌍 A case with history: The man was previously linked to one of Singapore’s biggest money-laundering scandals. The Interpol warrant was lifted after he agreed to surrender assets as part of a wider settlement deal.
Watch: Art, bones and bricks are favorite parking spots for dirty money. Auction houses and family offices better start spelling KYC. When authorities work together across borders, luxury lands quickly in the state’s trophy cabinet without a trial.
