    I could imagine a deranged billionaire, like imagine a son of emerald miners who used his inherited wealth to buy EV or space companies, somebody who is quite short and self conscious about it, with a small penis feeling he needs to have children in triple figures before he flies to Mars. Anyways, a filthy rich guy like that who has everything and now wants a memento of Napoleon. He’ll keep it in a secret basement and that’s where he will go to masturbate looking at it.

    It seems weirdly specific but I’m really just making it up.

    I think this will stay in somebody’s basement. Even if you took it apart, experts will be able to recognize parts of the jewelry even if they chopped it up, say, the gemstones that were part of it. There are probably easier ways to get the same amount of valuable materials that won’t raise as many eyebrows when you try to fence them. So either these thieves are learning that lesson right now or a mad billionaire is masturbating next to it in his basement.

      In short: there’s a black market of people who don’t care whether it’s stolen and for whom that might even be an added glamorous thrill.

      I’m sure you’ve seen how twitchy and coked up he looks in some of the video clips. It’s all too easy to imagine this scenario as real.

      I imagine the group of wankers waking up with the biggest hangover ever, trying to figure out what the fuck happened yesterday.
