Douglas Latchford (died August 2020; aged 89) was a British adventerer, art dealer, smuggler, forger, and author.
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.
