> In 2023, Wizards of the Coast hired Pinkerton to seize products from the March of the Machine: The Aftermath card set for the trading card game Magic: The Gathering from a YouTuber who had received them in an order from a local game store[38]. The YouTuber published a video showing their contents on YouTube ahead of the release. The Pinkertons used intimidation and threats of detention, arrest, fines and jail to force compliance with their goal[38]. According to Wizards of the Coast, this was after several attempts had been made to contact the individual in private, with no response. [39]

I did not expect to see something like this in the article. What in the world?

A very recent development and i suspect the reason OP was looking at the wiki page in the first place. The MTG community is up in flames at the overreaction of hiring a company known for union busting through violence, and which is barred from business with the federal government, to recover already leaked cards.

Another thing I didn't know is how much money is involved in these card things.
