The museum cashes out the insurance policy and the thieves ransom the art to the insurer who gained ownership when they paid out. The insurer pays the ransom because they can likely make a profit putting it up for auction or selling it back to the museum or gallery. These particular thieves were dumb but art theft is common and lucrative
It's not impossible at all, thousands of high end art pieces get stolen every year and disappear into private collections, it's a huge industry. I live in LA and the LAPD has a stolen art squad.

@@Preacher_. Scandanvia's pretty good in general on this. Instead of frontloading a 30 year sentence, it starts with a low sentence which is extended at the end (by a few years, top) if you're still deemed a threat to society, so you're encouraged to change rather than just wait it out. Technically it can be extended an unlimited number of times, but that is unlikely as it'll be years between each sentence, likely with a different judge.

The only case where "accessory to extortion" would not apply is if the criminals had hostages and sent one of those to negotiate. Then it's "reluctant victim".
In all seriousness thieves that steal artwork THAT high profile are usually being paid to steal it for a client. You dont steal it to then try and sell it because it cant be sold. The clients are usually buying it just to vault it.

I mean people in the chat are lauging at the justice system in Europe...but it works. Unlike US justice system which is a broken pile of shit. In Europe, specially scandinavia, has the lowest recidivism rate.
eurotrash "justice" system = just don't charge the kinds of people who commit crime continuously, because not looking racist and being able to pretend their society is still stable in 2020 is more important than actually protecting citizens murica "justice" system = keep criminals in zoos for as long as possible so government can fleece the tax money funding it because bureaucrats' mortgage is more important than dealing with crime everyone should learn from russia and just banish scum to the arctic
You also have like 4 people that live there of which like 90% are from the same ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds. It’s much easier to manage that kind of population, especially when all of Scandanavias population is like the size of one or two of the fifty states we have .
@@SaintEaon wait i don't actually know what im talking about but why is it easier managing that smaller populatio? wouldent it just be more police or therapists to deal with them if there was a bigger pop?
vigge cokar litte cola not at all, if you look generally smaller more close knit communities tend to be the safest places to live because everyone knows everyone else. But extending beyond that if everyone in your country is a white, Russian Orthodox Christian that means they’re all going to have similar values and experiences which further means they’re more likely to relate to one another and empathize with them. That also means they lack any benefits that diversity might bring but on the same token racism isn’t a problem. Most people will point at European countries with one ethic type, one main religion , and 10 million citizens and try to compare that to the US where we have 350 million people, a whole rainbow of ethnic groups and religions and 50 different states that all do things differently and say Europe is better, however when you say compare the white only population in America to say the same group in Europe, almost universally America does it better and on larger numbers
All those people in chat were ridiculing the Swedish prison system, but what they don't realize is that they have on of the lowest prison populations and one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world. It's actually fucking insane how good their rehabilitation rate is, and then you look at the US.... -_- ...
@@whatastandupguy3050 Yes, because they actually understand the point of a justice system isn't to punish, it's to get the best outcomes for society. In the US prisons turn people into lifelong criminals, in places like Sweden they turn criminals into functional members of society.
I've watched The Internet Historian's videos so many times, and every time I watch I enjoy it all the same. These videos are timeless. He's honestly a genius! 😂
Long sentences actually increase the chance of committing a crime again, so that's why it's not usual to throw people away for decades. It's not just about punishment, but also rehabilitation and decreasing crime overall
Yeah it's always funny seeing Americans laugh at the justice system of certain EU countries, when those justice systems objectively work better. Much better.
@@TacoGiraffen I mean even people in America try to get into prison for misdemeanors just to get food, a bed, and unlimited free health care. I can't imagine how many people would be trying to get into jail with those added assentives as well
@@Unknown-hb3id well you don't just sit around in prison. You're basically doing public service so you *are* working but you don't get paid. Like yeah, free housing and stuff but you don't really get to buy yourself things you want to and it's pretty hard to find a real job afterwards because of the record. Prison is still prison, exept that this system has the endgoal of integrating criminals back into society without radicalizing them
Doesn't matter how much the painting is valued at auction, dude; if you can't sell it, it's worth less than a can of Pepsi to you. The paintings purported value is what you can expect to get in a legitimate manner, but like he said, doing it illigitimate means a ton of risk for a buyer, which gives them negotiating power to lower the price. Things are only worth as much as people are willing to pay for them. And after having gotten nothing for years after a giant job but their gang slowly crumbling around them, were they about to refuse $200K to hold out for a couple million that they were never, ever, EVER going to get? Seriously, this is like Baby's First Economics Concepts here.
9:29 LMAO I LOVE THE FACE ASMON MADE BWAHAHA. Ever so slowly getting confused about what he just heard, smile slowly dropping into a “wait what the fuck lmao” face
A painting being described as a sheet of paper is the same thing as a game beimg described as a computer archive, is technically true, but it's not right
@MrAlex15can Tell that to the thousands of people in prison for drug possession, a large portion of whom didn't intend to sell it. american courts see repeat offenders caught with drugs for personal use as if they are not worth rehabilitation, while EU courts are getting better at lowering reoffending rates through a softer approach to prison and jail time. It has ruined plenty lives already, if the US keeps pushing for rehab for drug addicts and lesser sentences for people who deserve a second chance your country will be in a better place.
What the fuck? Next you'll be saying that throwing criminals into a big pit of other criminals, locking the door and forgetting about them, then releasing them 5 years later with no money and extremely restricted job and housing opportunities would lead to undesirable outcomes. Preposterous
In the US they tend to have an inflated ego and treat criminals of any caliber like they're the worse person in the world compared to them, often forgetting they're still human after all and not everything is always as simple as "crime=bad person", things are often more complicated than that. Not always, but can be. But hell these days they treat the average person just minding their own business like they're terrorists over an opinion. Everyone likes to think that they're the self-righteous heroes in their stories, those people need to stop living life like it's a movie.
The whole chat is lauging at how Swedish prisons work, but US prisons have longer sentences, are less effective at rehabilitation, are used for borderline slave-labour, have way higher death and injury rates, have way more inmates living in WAY worse conditions, and you can get in for even minor offences. I sure do wonder in which country people are more willing to cooperate with the police and less afraid of their own society and neighbors.
Damn dude I really wish the USA had a legal system more focused on rehab and reintegration than punishment. Clearly it is just not working, but we haven't had the change necessary in politics to call for this (even though it would cost far less money).
Yeah, me too. But as you can see from the people in chat, or anywhere else anyone talks about this kind of stuff, Americans don't care about rehab, reintegration, recidivism, how much it costs, etc. They want "justice" they want criminals to live in hell and squalor, they want them to be raped, they don't care if it actually decreases crime or has other positive outcomes. It's all about retribution. You can see the same thing with guns, and so many other topics. It isn't actually about reducing harm.
It would cost less (for the state), the fact that the prison system in the US is privatized, incentivizes keeping recidivism high rather than rehabilitating the inmates.
@@Unknown-hb3id What I mean is that like with the criminal justice system, with the topic of guns/gun law/gun safety/mass shootings/etc, for a lot of people, harm reduction isn't important.
Get fucked, mate. Our system doesn't rehabilitate, sure, but at least it can detain those criminally charged. Imagine being so fucking Ken Doll'd in the testicle department that your system actively releases convicted criminals on the weekends, lets them steal $30 million in irreplaceable artwork, and then can't even charge the *repeat* criminals when a different country finds and returns the artwork to you.
American surprised when incarceration is used to reform someone and allow them to give back to society and not a private company that keeps people to make money out of it. America still thinks it's the best country in the world lol
Eu here, but im wondering , would someone actually reform if they had no repercussions to fear? Like why stop , when you can keep doing it and nothing actually bad happens to you?
It's all well and good with these small crimes. But what about real hardcore shit? You gonna reform a serial killer? A child rapist? A MS13 gang member?
@@requiemlul3140 treating someone who deliberately refuses to act like a human, like a human is literally the worst thing anyone could come up with. Just because america is poverity stricken corpse of a country that jails it's own people so they will not have to deal with them , doesn't mean all jails should be based on theirs. What good is a punishment if it is not a punishment? Hypothetically- would you stop stealing if nobody punished you for it? Would your friends?
2:10 nobody steals paintings in hopes of selling them on the black-market or something. AFAIK such of heist happened because someone hired a crew to steal the painting for them or basically they had a buyer before the heist.

@@PlatosPunk It's not exactly a matter of opinion. I'm talking about objective metrics like recidivism rate, crime rate within the prisons and so on. I respect your opinion about a death penalty, tho and I can understand it. It's just that in my opinion having a death penalty is an emotional reaction born out of the human need for revenge. I despise this is in every way because feelings and emotions should not be the basis for any decisions in a justice system, but rationality and facts. And the fact is that while having a death penalty gives a feeling of satisfaction in some cases, all it does is make a wrong conviction irreversible. This is not the middle ages, and it's not some middle Eastern country, we shouldn't have a justice system based on such principles like revenge.
Sure, it might be better in the sense that it rehabilitates and gives more second chances to criminals, but the victims of severe crimes get extremely shafted in Sweden. There are cases where rapists sit in prison for a few months, theres the greek national that has been raping women repeatedly since the 80's and is STILL allowed to walk free. The swedish justice system is garbage and thats fortunately also the general opinion in Sweden today.
@@ProfTydrim That's why your overly empathetic culture is being replaced by the Middle East IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY. You think they are "backward", but I think it's you just decadent. "Rehabilitation" it's like you give wife who crossed the line and cheated on you a "second", "third" and so on chance, instead of FOREVER cutting her out of your life.
Gotta love all those NA bois in chat making fun of the concept of humane prison sentences, while they have one of the highest rates of prison murder, prison gang violence, recidivism, and highest prison population on earth. That's like Asmon laughing at a normal middle class dude for not having an entire cockroach nation and black mold in his attic.

It's actually hilarious how they celebrate their amazingly AWFUL justice system and the fact they get life in prison on a daily basis over there.. Or the fcking death penalty. but not with chomo's, no, for stealing from the government.. Seriously braindead people.
The only case where "accessory to extortion" would not apply is if the criminals had hostages and sent one of those to negotiate. Then it's "reluctant victim".
In all seriousness thieves that steal artwork THAT high profile are usually being paid to steal it for a client. You dont steal it to then try and sell it because it cant be sold. The clients are usually buying it just to vault it.
If u dont have a set buyer BEFORE the art heist then its prob a good idea to pass.

lol my thoughts exactly
Is armed robbery a non-violent crime in Sweden?
@@kennandunn7533 We dont have a crime for that, we have Robbery and then Harsh/serious robbery. It depends on how the criminal in question got the things. Did they harm the person they where robbing or not? Besides, if they didnt, Harsh robbery can land then 6 - 10 years in prison, while robbery lands you 1 - 6.
@@paragonaesir1957 OK, so while the video called it Armed robbery, the CNN page on the event classified it as aggravated robbery. Although since they were armed, that kind of implies that they were threatening death on their victims if they did not comply.

I mean people in the chat are lauging at the justice system in Europe...but it works. Unlike US justice system which is a broken pile of shit. In Europe, specially scandinavia, has the lowest recidivism rate.
yep, i was looking for this comment lmao they are so blind
eurotrash "justice" system = just don't charge the kinds of people who commit crime continuously, because not looking racist and being able to pretend their society is still stable in 2020 is more important than actually protecting citizens

everyone should learn from russia and just banish scum to the arctic
You also have like 4 people that live there of which like 90% are from the same ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds. It’s much easier to manage that kind of population, especially when all of Scandanavias population is like the size of one or two of the fifty states we have .
@@SaintEaon wait i don't actually know what im talking about but why is it easier managing that smaller populatio? wouldent it just be more police or therapists to deal with them if there was a bigger pop?
vigge cokar litte cola not at all, if you look generally smaller more close knit communities tend to be the safest places to live because everyone knows everyone else. But extending beyond that if everyone in your country is a white, Russian Orthodox Christian that means they’re all going to have similar values and experiences which further means they’re more likely to relate to one another and empathize with them. That also means they lack any benefits that diversity might bring but on the same token racism isn’t a problem. Most people will point at European countries with one ethic type, one main religion , and 10 million citizens and try to compare that to the US where we have 350 million people, a whole rainbow of ethnic groups and religions and 50 different states that all do things differently and say Europe is better, however when you say compare the white only population in America to say the same group in Europe, almost universally America does it better and on larger numbers
All those people in chat were ridiculing the Swedish prison system, but what they don't realize is that they have on of the lowest prison populations and one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world.

Long sentences actually increase the chance of committing a crime again, so that's why it's not usual to throw people away for decades. It's not just about punishment, but also rehabilitation and decreasing crime overall
Stark difference in Sweden than the US that's for sure
'muricans dont understand the purpose of prison.

Doesn't matter how much the painting is valued at auction, dude; if you can't sell it, it's worth less than a can of Pepsi to you. The paintings purported value is what you can expect to get in a legitimate manner, but like he said, doing it illigitimate means a ton of risk for a buyer, which gives them negotiating power to lower the price. Things are only worth as much as people are willing to pay for them. And after having gotten nothing for years after a giant job but their gang slowly crumbling around them, were they about to refuse $200K to hold out for a couple million that they were never, ever, EVER going to get?

That would require people to understand that prison should be more than just punishment.
@MrAlex15can Tell that to the thousands of people in prison for drug possession, a large portion of whom didn't intend to sell it. american courts see repeat offenders caught with drugs for personal use as if they are not worth rehabilitation, while EU courts are getting better at lowering reoffending rates through a softer approach to prison and jail time.
It has ruined plenty lives already, if the US keeps pushing for rehab for drug addicts and lesser sentences for people who deserve a second chance your country will be in a better place.
What the fuck? Next you'll be saying that throwing criminals into a big pit of other criminals, locking the door and forgetting about them, then releasing them 5 years later with no money and extremely restricted job and housing opportunities would lead to undesirable outcomes.
Preposterous
@@CoachDitka The outcomes are not undesirable. They are exactly what the prison industrial complex desires.
OG_Ravioli Dog the US prison system is not meant to rehabilitate. Private prisons want their prisoners to come back so they can profit
I love how chat makes fun of swedish jail system, yet it works hundred times better than the american one.
So much better that the criminals just get away lol
it would take too many reaction videos of people explaining why its better for them to understand
Cause most of them are American, and Americans think they're the best at everything
Overall it is a pretty good system with amazing results, but sadly there are too many factors on why wouldn't work in America.
In the US they tend to have an inflated ego and treat criminals of any caliber like they're the worse person in the world compared to them, often forgetting they're still human after all and not everything is always as simple as "crime=bad person", things are often more complicated than that. Not always, but can be. But hell these days they treat the average person just minding their own business like they're terrorists over an opinion. Everyone likes to think that they're the self-righteous heroes in their stories, those people need to stop living life like it's a movie.
The whole chat is lauging at how Swedish prisons work, but US prisons have longer sentences, are less effective at rehabilitation, are used for borderline slave-labour, have way higher death and injury rates, have way more inmates living in WAY worse conditions, and you can get in for even minor offences. I sure do wonder in which country people are more willing to cooperate with the police and less afraid of their own society and neighbors.

Damn dude I really wish the USA had a legal system more focused on rehab and reintegration than punishment. Clearly it is just not working, but we haven't had the change necessary in politics to call for this (even though it would cost far less money).
Yeah, me too. But as you can see from the people in chat, or anywhere else anyone talks about this kind of stuff, Americans don't care about rehab, reintegration, recidivism, how much it costs, etc. They want "justice" they want criminals to live in hell and squalor, they want them to be raped, they don't care if it actually decreases crime or has other positive outcomes. It's all about retribution. You can see the same thing with guns, and so many other topics. It isn't actually about reducing harm.
Kevin I like this take.
It would cost less (for the state), the fact that the prison system in the US is privatized, incentivizes keeping recidivism high rather than rehabilitating the inmates.
@@KEVBOYMUSIC What do you mean with the guns part?
@@Unknown-hb3id What I mean is that like with the criminal justice system, with the topic of guns/gun law/gun safety/mass shootings/etc, for a lot of people, harm reduction isn't important.

Get fucked, mate. Our system doesn't rehabilitate, sure, but at least it can detain those criminally charged.
Imagine being so fucking Ken Doll'd in the testicle department that your system actively releases convicted criminals on the weekends, lets them steal $30 million in irreplaceable artwork, and then can't even charge the *repeat* criminals when a different country finds and returns the artwork to you.
Lesson learned: only steal high priced paintings if you already have a buyer.
Everyone in chat makes fun of Sweden when the concept of prison furlough is brought up but the US does it too with low-risk prisoners.

Unless you have a death penalty for child molesters and murderers i can't agree with your statement. But I respect your opinion
@@PlatosPunk It's not exactly a matter of opinion. I'm talking about objective metrics like recidivism rate, crime rate within the prisons and so on. I respect your opinion about a death penalty, tho and I can understand it. It's just that in my opinion having a death penalty is an emotional reaction born out of the human need for revenge. I despise this is in every way because feelings and emotions should not be the basis for any decisions in a justice system, but rationality and facts. And the fact is that while having a death penalty gives a feeling of satisfaction in some cases, all it does is make a wrong conviction irreversible. This is not the middle ages, and it's not some middle Eastern country, we shouldn't have a justice system based on such principles like revenge.
Sure, it might be better in the sense that it rehabilitates and gives more second chances to criminals, but the victims of severe crimes get extremely shafted in Sweden. There are cases where rapists sit in prison for a few months, theres the greek national that has been raping women repeatedly since the 80's and is STILL allowed to walk free. The swedish justice system is garbage and thats fortunately also the general opinion in Sweden today.
