KITP: tidal tails, or how to steal a million stars

ideally, globular clusters are tidally truncated
since real tidal fields are not spherically symmetric and static
we expect time varying aspherical stripping and shocking, and
with relaxation additional diffusion outside the tidal boundary

so... globular clusters should have tidal tails

we contemplate the difference between r_J and r_t

How to steal a million stars: leverage of course.
first set up an investment institution, then securitize the stars, then convince your local Galactic Senate representative to repeal the archaean regulation of stellar securitization, then move to the SMC with your ill-gotten stars.
