To me this sounds like more run of the mill scare mongering that certain people keep bringing up although I am well aware about certain museums efforts to keep anything collectible away from collectors hands at all costs and the hell with actual preservation so I try to stay up on things. Does anybody (Matteo - from your email you sound familiar with this so maybe you can enlighten us more) know anything about this "August meeting". In particular who is having it? To me it sounds odd that the moroccan king (The only person who's opinion really matters) would advertise such an event to the meteorite community if he figures we are all theives. I know that right now under moroccan law there is no problem exporting meteorites and that there is no reason to hide the fact from customs that you are exporting meteorites (My 400 kilo shipment a couple months ago clearly stated "meteorites" on the export certificate that was stamped by about 8 people at moroccan customs). This whole thing sounds fishy and yet more dreamed up scaremongering to me. However, if anybody has details please do enlighten us all more. Many people on this list (Including myself) would surely be interested in real information. Even my partners in morocco would like to know as they havent herd anything about it either. Maybe the moroccan government (king) is warning foreigners but keeping his own people in the dark? Plenty of holes in this thread.
