Well that's possible, all country's have corruptible or influenced politician's.
But hopefully it takes more than one rich man to change the state of law in the land of the free? At least a couple of dozen oil magnates, net Mongols & international arms dealers of missiles & other mass expense technology of destruction id hope!

Unsaleable shouldn't be a problem to the truly rich... they don't need to sell from there collection's & can still acquire more, even illegally if they so wish... with impunity probably, if they are so influential...
It us poorer collectors who have to decide whether to keep or sell, before laws make that decision for us.
In truth I made my choices a few years back , when I saw which way the wind was blowing.
