Feds Investigate Hobby Lobby Owners Over Alleged Illicit Importation of Artifacts
The owners of Hobby Lobby, a popular craft store chain, have reportedly been the subjects of a years-long federal investigation into alleged illicit importation of artifacts from Iraq, according to a Daily Beast report.
Citing an unnamed law enforcement official, the outlet reported that authorities have been looking into the Green family since 2011, when 200 to 300 ancient clay tablets with text written in cuneiform were purportedly seized by U.S. Customs agents in Memphis, Tennessee.
It is widely known that the Greens have a vast array of biblical artifacts, which will be put on display in the highly anticipated Museum of the Bible that is slated to open in Washington, D.C. in late 2017.
