Antiquities trade

According to his obituary in The Diplomat due to his leading position in the illegal antiqueties trade of the Khmer Rouge "no single figure looms as large over a nation’s wholesale pillage."

He kept the best pieces for himself and his personal collection is rumored to rival that of the National Museum of Cambodia.
