The man responsible for transporting millions of dollars worth of stolen Masters memorabilia, including one of Arnold Palmer's green jackets, is owning up to his actions.

Per ESPN, Richard Globensky, a 39-year-old former warehouse assistant for the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, pleaded guilty to one count of transporting goods knowing they had been stolen during his initial appearance in federal court in Chicago on Wednesday.

Federal prosecutors alleged that Globensky operated a scheme for nearly a decade where he would take items from the warehouse and transport them to another party in Florida to be sold online.
