I can understand the need to pay some tax...
I think the attempt to go after them for selling the objects makes no sense since they weren’t the actual people who took the things and merely inherited them after the fact.
IRS tried for way too much, so it makes sense where they settled....though court costs/lawyer fees likely ate up everything else they managed to negotiate.
On any level of civility and humanity, I find it appalling there are folks who knowingly sell items that have were stolen.
As they still had the articles in possession, I would have rather they’d been gone after criminally.
It makes my skin crawl knowing we had/have military folks who steal.
And family members who have anything to do with stolen goods are just as guilty; I don’t see a time limit.
It’s one thing to not know....they found out and still wanted to hang on to stolen goods.
Yuck. Ick.
