In response to "Maria", Barry Gurary surreptitiously removed rare books from the library, and was in the process of selling them. He claimed in court that the books belonged to him as an inheritance, while Chabad maintained that they were community property as intended by the Chabad Rebbes who assembled the collection. The courts ruled in favor of Chabad. Transcripts of the court proceedings are part of the public record. Any insinuation that the collection was assembled in a non-transparent or unethical way is vile, empty slander.

At least today they do not project themselves as a group which would want such an impressive library with many critical and rare works. Given the variety of the material in the library, it would be interesting to examine how each volume was acquired and by whom.
