IIRC, they bought forgeries which were supposedly Dead Sea scrolls or akin to them, among other things. I don't recall the exact nature of the stolen Iraqi artifacts they acquired.

And by "they" in the above I don't mean Hobby Lobby the company proper, but rather the owners/founders and their pet project bible museum organization.
