Breaking into this place would make a really good heist movie.

So incredibly depressing that these works of art are hidden away in places like this, seen as framed money instead of something beautiful to be seen and enjoyed.

This is incredible. That storage facility has hundreds of pieces of possibly stolen art. That's why there's no real accounting; it's to keep people away so no one questions what's really inside that facility.

I've been driving almost on a daily basis by it and never imagined what could be inside. Thought it was just a regular import/export facility.

There's always been something very fishy to me about art prices in general.

Well... what did you expect? Safeguarding criminal's asses and assets has been Switzerland's job for 500 years now. That's why they are neutral. The criminals in power will never touch the place where their precious assets are.

Watching this, I start to feel some empathy with the forgers who fake the work of great artists and sell the fakes for fabulous sums to super-rich crooks.

Seems the perfect place for the stolen art pieces from the Gardner museum in Boston to hide.

The billionaire chisels. If the dealer buys for himself and then offers to the collector, there is no fiduciary duty to the collector. The dealer takes the risk of buying and had the risk that he must stand behind the work for authenticity. The collector could have paid for an agent if he wanted to take those risks for himself. And, if chosen, his agent might not have the same access to art works
