Why would they need to use "trick money" to buy illegal artifacts? Why complicate things. Why not just buy the artifacts with real money then bust them for selling illegal artifacts?

Because they know their own capabilities and were worried that in the end both money and artifacts would be gone? Or the real money was "liberated" along the way?

Or their superior was concerned that money, artifacts and police officers would be gone.

I didn't hear this kind of news for long time. Just thought nothing to sell, but still something.

‘Dealers’ in fake artefacts busted
Three alleged fake artefact traders were arrested yesterday in Kampong Thom accused of trying to sell faux ancient statues to undercover police.
Ith Sothea, the provincial prosecutor, sent the undercover police to meet the traders – identified as Hieth, 46, Nhien Nhil, 47, and Narith, 31 – after receiving a tip-off about their activities.
Rom Sovichea, chief of the provincial heritage protection office, said the men had attempted to sell seven statues to the officers for $10,000.
“They made an appointment to meet and they were arrested by the officers, led by the prosecutor,” he said.
Two of the traders were from Kampong Thom’s Sandan district, while Narith was from Kampong Speu, he added.
After inspection by experts from the Ministry of Fine Arts, the statues were determined to be forgeries.

Jesus, damned if you do, dawned of you don't... First you get busted for trying to sell illegal artifacts, then rather change their tune and bust you for trying to pass off fakes as real artifacts. Haha...
