Ok. Selling artwork can be used as a way to launder money because art is not a commodity. Hunter isn't selling groceries in a corner market. He's selling artwork and he can set whatever price he wants on it, and a "buyer" can pay money to the Biden crime family by simply spending $500 k on a piece of canvas that isn't worth $.50.
So, on paper, the money funneling into the Biden Crime Family only looks like some poor sap was buying trash art, instead of paying for favors from the POTUS.
My, you have an active imagination. Gotta try to get Hunter one way or the other, eh?

And there are no AML (anti-money laundering) requirements on the art dealers/houses. The buyer can be completely anonymous. There are people who say they should be classified as money transmitting businesses and adhere to AML laws.
And in the interests of improving reading skills, nowhere did I imply that you said that bribery occurred. But I do take exception at the implication that anything nefarious is happening, with not one shred of evidence. Why are these discussions taking place in a void of provable facts? What's wrong with trying to establish a basis for truth before spouting off? And then you go off the range with trying to prove your point by quoting a completely different artist and their supposed bribery. Talk about deflection, you just wrote the book.
I gave you an example of how bribes are hidden by overpaying since you couldn't seem to grasp the concept.
Just curious why selling artwork is now considered bribery/money laundering?
It is not, but it is a time-tested means of masking a payment for something else by over-purchasing.
As such, the amounts involved for not just an amateur artist but one that just started out doing it are shall we say, surprising.
Tell you what, imagine Trump Jr. suddenly started an art career in 2017 selling things for up to 500k each and humorously most of the posters arguing here would flip sides. I would personally find it suspicious.
How anyone cannot see the red flags here is beyond me. Then again, I do agree that Democrat voters are complete dumbasses.
In fairness, it's the exact same thing from a couple years back where some member of the Trump family would get a patent or whatnot in China and people would start screaming it was a payoff....and the Republicans would all defend it.
I'm breathlessly awaiting a self portrait of Hunter. From the waist down. A big moneymaker (so to speak).
