A trove of nearly 200 artworks by Hunter Biden has been destroyed — one of the casualties of the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles, The Post has learned.

The controversial art had been in storage near the Pacific Palisades home of Hunter’s Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris and is valued at “millions of dollars,” a source close to the Biden family said.

Morris, who loaned the first son nearly $5 million to help pay a tax bill and has been financing a documentary on him, lives in a sprawling five-bedroom, six-bathroom home which is among the few houses still intact in the posh neighborhood, The Post can confirm.

The “works of art” value were solely determined by the graft from the Biden Regime they could be converted into. A week out, other than buying a pardon, these markers were worthless.

Perhaps some insurance company, hoping to ingratiate itself with the corrupt administration actually insured them for millions.

Insurance scam?

But like lost Michelangelo, Rembrandt and Chagal masterpieces there is no making it up to the world for the loss.

We weep.

valued at “millions of dollars,”

Ha ha! Sure. They meant to say "laundered collateral, fraudulently funding millions of dollars".

Imagine the insurance payout. Perfect timing, too, because their value would immediately plunge in 5 days.

Is “artworks” the new street name for cocaine? If so, the headline’s a lot more believable.

“”””Imagine the insurance payout. Perfect timing, too, because their value would immediately plunge in 5 days.””””

This may have saved him the embarrassment of trying to sell them in his new marketability situation.

It certainly will be true for some people (wealthy, politicians, non-conservative celebrities, the well-connected). For the common Joe or Julie, even if you have everything well-documented, there's a good chance some or all of your insurance claims will be denied or reduced to well below replacement value.

Each individual item must be catalogued and appraised in advance by a qualified appraiser and listed on a separate rider to the homeowner’s policy.

Betcha a million dollars the guy who forgot where he left his Mac to be repaired did none of this in advance.
