White House warns art world rife with money laundering as Hunter Biden sells paintings for $500,000
Fox News ^ | 12/06/2021 | Houston Keene

Posted on 12/06/2021 2:38:03 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The White House is warning that the art world is fertile ground for money laundering and other financial crimes as the president's son, Hunter Biden, is raising eyebrows by selling paintings for up to half a million dollars — despite lacking any formal art experience.

The Biden administration released on Monday a national strategy to counter corruption, which it noted is the first of its kind.

The White House document touches on the corruption-rife art world, noting that the "markets for art and antiquities — and the market participants who facilitate transactions — are especially vulnerable to a range of financial crimes."

It could be the bee, but it fit’s nicely with “my body and my choice” doesn’t it?

This is pretty funny.

We know! That’s why we think the White House is committing criminal acts by allowing this farce to continue.
Nobody but your Dim-Dem voters is fooled by this heavy handed ruse.

LeBron James is planning a public service announcement — he has heard rumors that some people in America are playing a game known as “basketball”. In his opinion, this is just thug ball, and he encourages both young and old to have nothing to do with it.

I am as pissed as anybody at what is happening, but outside of voting, supporting what I believe in, and expressing my displeasure there is not much else to do other than laugh at the hypocrisy.

It keeps me sane.

There are neither enough faces or enough palms to express by contempt for this warning, but I will try to give a good start.

Holy cow. They must be worried a bit about the scam that Hunter (under the umbrella of The Big Guy) is running. So, the brazen tactic of going after the very crime you’re committing to throw people off is up and running. Also have everything in place to deny any wrong-doing on Hunter’s part. Unbelievable the NERVE they have. Unreal.

Is this a preemptive excuse for when something fishy about Hunter’s art sales becomes public, or when they show up in the National Gallery of China?

Don’t worry about Hunter, we can trust democrats to clean up corruption. So, if Hunter is doing it, it means it’s totally above board because democrats are on the job. /s. Puke.

That’s a good question, and exactly what I was thinking. Other than some scandal coming up involving Hunter’s “art”, what would possibly get the WH to bring this money laundering niche up? The answer is that it’s part of the government’s plan to get their hands on every single transaction that occurs involving Americans or American assets. Crypto currency, banking, investing, FINtech, real estate, and even art sales. It’s just ironic that Hunter’s “art” is exactly the kind of money laundering they seek to control. This is the report they are quoting:
