As for the guys collection. I've read there were museums bidding on it BEFORE it was seized.
If there were indeed museums bidding on the equipment in question before it was seized, it calls into question as to why the government seized the equipment to begin with even further. If it was contraband, I doubt he would have had legal entities like museums bidding on it in the first place.

Stuff is likely either going to sit and rust in a warehouse, or get melted into scrap now....sigh.
