Namely, Richard transported things worth several million dollars, including Arnold Palmer's green jacket. The 40-year-old admitted guilt for his actions and apologized to the public. With a trembling voice, Globensky stressed that he was deeply sorry, taking responsibility for his actions.
"I deeply regret the decision that led me to this moment," he said, as quoted by ESPN.
"I have taken full responsibility for my actions and remain committed to doing everything in my power to make amends."
He made a huge amount of money by fraud
If the media reports are to be believed, Globensky will have to pay more than 3 million compensation, and be under supervision for a year. The 40-year-old was taking things from warehouses for sellers in Florida, then selling them online at higher prices. A former warehouse worker has been doing identical things for years, gaining great wealth through such actions.

The prosecutors demanded a 16-month sentence, considering that Globensky had acquired enormous financial power.
It is important to point out that Globensky is not the only person in this process, considering that the report reveals that some other people were involved in this reprehensible act.
Many important items, which have priceless value, were stolen between 2009 and 2022, and the jacket of Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer and Gene Sarazen attracted special attention.
Earning huge money from this fraud, he bought vehicles and a boat, and many other things.
His lawyer explained that it is not unusual for employees to temporarily do such things, stressing that the client has repented of his actions.
This act resulted in a loss to Augusta National worth $3 million, according to the prosecutor.
