The Associated Press reported on the 20th (Korea time) that "a former warehouse employee of Augusta National Golf Club was sentenced to a year in prison for stealing millions of dollars in Masters Tournament memorabilia, including Arnold Palmer's iconic green jacket."

The man who committed the crime was 40-year-old Richard Glovensky, who pleaded guilty last year to transporting stolen goods across state lines. "Govensky, who appeared in federal court in Chicago wearing a suit and a red tie, apologized for his actions before a district judge handed down his sentence," the Associated Press said. 메이저사이트
"Globensky took pictures of the items from the warehouse where he had worked since 2007, sneaked them out, moved them to an outside storage facility, and sold them through an online auction by a souvenir broker in Florida," Yahoo Sports said. "The stolen items reportedly included the winning green jacket of Palmer, Ben Hogan, and Jean Saracens, as well as historical souvenirs such as tickets, T-shirts, mugs and chairs for the 1930s Masters tournament. The theft took place from 2009 to 2022."

"I deeply regret the decision that led to this moment," Glovensky said. "I take full responsibility for my actions. I will do my utmost to correct this." The Associated Press reported that Glovensky and his lawyer did not answer questions from reporters when they left the federal court. "According to the verdict, he must pay more than 3 million dollars (4.4 billion won) in compensation and undergo one year of probation. In Glovensky's case, federal prosecutors demanded a 16-month sentence and his lawyer wanted probation.
