It is curious how the FBI decides what crimes to pursue and what crimes to deny jurisdiction. In this case local police anticipate jurisdiction because the victim was wealthy?
[From article]
"Southampton Village Police Detective Sgt. Herman Lamison
said the FBI was alerted to the heist 'because it could become interstate, and because they have a high-end art-recovery team.'"
