It takes years of good times before pilfered items from a cache like that can be sold off without the source being questioned.

There was a major CONUS city that had millions of dollars worth of medical supplies warehoused for emergencies. Enough years went by without a need for them that accountability fell through the cracks. When somebody finally noticed the storage facility was still on the books and went to check on it, they found the warehouse was nearly empty. It was suspected that the contents were sold off little by little by corrupt warehouse caretakers. It took a decade to do it and stay under the radar. It wasn't a get rich quick scheme, just supplemental income. It happened a number of years ago and I don't remember the specifics of where or when; but, that is was successful even where it shouldn't have been.

With the corruption in PR, they probably have it down to a science where they can do it and still stay out of jail. We don't know whether or not a little of it had already been sold off.
