The Oklahoma-based retailer also agreed to forfeit thousands of clay artifacts it bought in 2010 — an acquisition that prosecutors said was "fraught with red flags" the company didn't heed. Cuneiform tablets were falsely labeled as product samples and shipped to Hobby Lobby Stores. In a statement, Hobby Lobby President Steve Green acknowledged "regrettable mistakes" that he chalked up to inexperience. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've always believed the looters had actual "shopping lists" of wealthy and cynical Americans. we are closed on Sundays for worship......
