Recently, it was found out that all artifacts were dug up by villagers and sold to Douglas Latchford, a disgraced art dealer and smuggler, who sold them to collectors and museums outside Thailand, with help from his close friend, Emma C. Bunker, an art scholar who played an important role in laundering the plundered antiquities.
