Honestly, does it matter which obscenely rich people have sole access to these statues? I’m a monster, but am I any worse than @Dr_Hunmanet_PM or @HunSensEye? Nah. #Cambodia

I heard @60Minutes is talking shit about my precious legitimate art collection! I just beat the shit out of Morley Safer’s ghost, and there’s more asskickings to come if you don’t knock it off. cc: @Terressa_Davis

@LAmineddoleh @Terressa_Davis You’d think it would have more results, given how thrilling it is to loot the shit out of places.

Um, this is awkward, but I’m pretty sure I was totally absolved a couple of months ago. #LootToThrill

@Terressa_Davis Boooooooooooo.
I’m expressing displeasure, not saying “Boo” like the harmful ghost stereotype.

A must read, deeply reported investigation, destroying so much of the false narrative around #DouglasLatchford & the antiquities trade.
The loopholes exposed threaten not just nations like 🇰🇭, or even our world heritage, but the responsible market & global financial system.

BREAKING: @washingtonpost & @ICIJorg have dropped their major expose on art trafficker #DouglasLatchford, an extensive investigation corroborated by new evidence from the #PandoraPapers. More still to come from @guardian, @BBCBreaking, & @ABCaustralia. washingtonpost.com/world/interact…

God dammit. These meddling fucking kids.

Here we go: Pandora Papers reveal how a notorious art dealer, Douglas Latchford, and his family set up trusts in tax havens shortly after U.S. investigators began linking him to looted Cambodian artifacts. washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…

@Terressa_Davis Solid points, but I think we need to focus on my absolution here, because being a hungry ghost really fucking sucks.

3) A recurring theme is the Latchford repatriation isn’t a “gift,” but the return of a stolen property & “a daughter extricating herself from her judicial dragnets,” as while the collection is valued at $50m & priceless to Cambodians, it’s also worthless on the legitimate market.

Much to unpack in this elegant—but damning—@guardian oped on Cambodia’s recovery of antiquities looted by Douglas Latchford. It does much to correct the false narrative pushed by him before his death and now continued by his apologists. A thread. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

If I am absolved, THEN WHY DO I CONTINUE TO SUFFER THIS ETERNAL TORMENT. Honestly. Hell would be so much nicer than this incorporeal nightmare.

@HunSensEye Don’t believe what they say about Jayavarman’s Navel Ring. It does not make you immortal.
