The Degas group was works on paper, not the museum's most famous oils. The Shang-dynasty or later Chinese gu and the flag finial show that the take was not a single-school shopping list. Insurance did not replace the objects: Gardner's will and the museum's practice treat the collection as a fixed installation, not a liquid inventory.

Boston papers dated the event to a holiday weekend when the Fenway was still loud from St Patrick's celebrations. Two men gained entry after presenting themselves as police officers answering a disturbance. This page does not reconstruct how they moved through the galleries. The public record is what was missing at dawn and what the night watch later told investigators.

The museum closed for a short period, then reopened with the frames still in place. Ulrich Boser, Stephen Kurkjian and later FBI briefings became the English-language spine of the story. The Boston Globe treated the theft as a local wound; national magazines treated it as the American art crime. Rather than relying on simplified league tables or slogans, keeping the primary Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum theft section open beside benchmark 1990 (“Gardners will”) gives operators and readers a verifiable decision trail.

Say the name, the year, then the figure. For Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum theft, “Gardners will” is the name of 1990. Keep Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum theft with “Gardners will” and 1990 from 1924. 19901924

  3. Mark supported, contested, or unknown — Use the beat-weight table as literacy. Default stays unknown until you choose.
  4. No encyclopedia verdict — Court outcomes and jury splits stay in primary sources; marks here do not change them.
  5. Amelia Earhart disappearance (5) — Atlas note 45 on Amelia Earhart disappearance defines the operating range of 1937 when “A second departure” applies.

Myth vs. Evidence Fact-Check

How do I read a Theranos claim against this dossier timeline?

Aftermath claims already on file sit beside beats already published here: 2003 founding, 2013 Walgreens rollout, 2014 peak private valuation, 15 October 2015 Journal investigation, 2016 CMS sanctions, 2018 SEC charges and wind-down, 2021 Holmes trial in San Jose. The pairing is a reading aid, not a new court finding.

Was Holmes convicted of harming patients?

The January 2022 Northern District of California verdict convicted her on investor-related wire-fraud counts and acquitted her on patient-related counts. Balwani was convicted on patient-related counts in July 2022. Marking a beat supported or contested on this page does not change that public record and is not this encyclopedia verdict.

Did the Journal invent the laboratory problems?

No. Carreyrou 15 October 2015 Wall Street Journal series is the public break. CMS later sanctioned the Newark lab (2016), and two juries independently found serious false statements. The claim that the Journal invented it is already listed to weigh against those years, not as this page conclusion.

What do supported, contested, and unknown mean on the beat-weight table?

They are editorial marks you set on this device against claims already in the aftermath chapter (patient-harm, Journal invention, no tests ever ran, 9 billion public company). Default is unknown. They teach how a public-record file can be read; they are not a legal verdict, not a how-to, and not a private case file.
