Most museum artifacts were obtained using "Shady methods" of acquisition, Trife, you moron. The history of museum objects reads like a criminal story right from the beginning of the efforts. People were made famous and rich by "Discovering" some piece of antiquity and laying hands on it so they could sell it to a museum.
Hence, the popularity of Dr. Jones and the quest for historical items. He wasn't doing it for free you know, there was a profit motive in everything that the vast majority of people do. Thus, I'm certain that there were shady deals made to acquire a particularly fascinating piece for your museum or university collection, thus gaining funds and grants to keep your tenured positions, etc.
I don't need anger management, people need to stop pissing me off!
