As revealed by the Amsterdam news site (which has been translated into English), it states that “According to the museum, the employees, one of whom is said to have been employed for 25 years, did not adhere to the ‘procedures and codes of conduct’ for staff. According to sources, they informed visitors in various ways about when they could buy tickets. One employee allegedly embezzled a box of Pokemon cards.”
While the spokesperson for the Museum did confirm that it’s still an incident they’re working on, they have explained that one employee allegedly embezzled a box of the highly sought-afterPokemon cards, to ensure they were able to get hold of a set.
Others were quick to tell friends or others about how they could buy tickets, and clearly broke the code of conduct for the Museum for these Pokemon cards.
