Hunter Biden Stiffed His Art Dealer: ‘Still Bitter About a Lot of That Stuff
Breitbart ^ | 01/17/2024 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 01/17/2024 10:43:50 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Hunter Biden stiffed his art dealer, Georges Bergès, for swanky art exhibitions, Bergès told House Oversight and Judiciary committees last week, according to a transcript reviewed by Breitbart News.

Hunter Biden’s failure to pay his bills was one reason Bergès dropped him as a client, he told the committees. “It was a little bit more than I could chew … So I haven’t agreed to renew that contract now,” he testified.

Hunter Biden has a history of stiffing those he owes. He previously refused to pay for housing, car payments, and legal fees, totaling $4.9 million, the Los Angeles Times reported.

“I paid for them [art shows],” Bergès replied when asked about who paid for the art exhibits. “I’m still bitter about a lot of that stuff.”

You would think that just one disgruntled past acquaintance would have dealt with Hunter long before now.

Royalty doesn’t pay for things. The little people do.

I would be embarrassed to admit I was Hunter’s ‘art’ dealer...

Maybe the disgruntled acquaintances knew they didn’t want the publicity. It was likely bad for business to complain...

Hunter comes from a long line of grifters. Everyone knows that.

Guy should have seen this coming. And asked for up front payment.

Not to mention stiffing the IRS.

He is now Hunters ex-art dealer....but his most damaging Congressional testimony
relevant to Joe Biden’s
pending impeachment involved (a) Joe Biden lying, and, (b) the Biden White House.

Art dealer Berges said under oath that
<><>in addition to meeting and talking with Joe Biden while selling Hunter Biden’s artwork,
<><>the gallerist had NEVER had any contact over what the WH ballyhooed as an “ethics agreement.”


CONGRESS: “When you’re seeing in the press that the White House is putting in certain safeguards regarding an ethics agreement, did you ever say to Hunter Biden, ‘Hey, where’s this coming from?’” a congressional investigator asked.

BERGES “I might have. I probably did, yeah,” Berges said.

CONGRESS: “And do you remember what he said to you?” the investigator continued.

BERGES: “I don’t . . . . I do remember being surprised,” Berges explained.

CONGRESS: “Why were you surprised?” he was asked.

BERGES: “Because I hadn’t had any communication with
the White House about an ethics agreement,” Berges answered.

You would think the left would learn not to cross their fellow conspirators. I hope the art dealer has at least some security.

And taxes. He doesn’t pay his taxes. The only people Hunter hasn’t stiffed are his prostitutes and drug dealers. And “the Big Guy.”

Actually, I kind of like that one. Is it painted on the Constitution or just some transcribed babbling? Not sure I’d call it art, but the stretched out hand is evocative.
