They cashed it, and once they found out how much of a dickbag he is, gave most of it to charity.

I hope they get the album back and re-sell it to an honest buyer, instead of keeping stolen money.

Will be slightly scratched. He used it as a beer coaster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upxrrHQ6sXY

This guy _must_ be a performance artist. I can't explain his act otherwise.

As part of the contract they have the right to steal it back at any time, so they very well could get the album back.
