Jason Chaffetz: Hunter Biden's art scam – with his work selling for $500K, we need to know who's buying
Fox News
Who just paid $500,000 to buy a painting from novice artist Hunter Biden? We don't know. Art dealer Georges Berges says the names of various buyers will be kept confidential.
But before anyone gets too impressed, let's think for a minute how convenient this arrangement might be for anyone wanting to buy access to the president of the United States. Just last summer, a U.S. Senate report detailed how Russian oligarchs are using the art world to launder money. Art is subjective. Who is to say just how much any piece is worth? The purchases are confidential. Who is to know if it's a foreign government, a drug cartel, or a Ukrainian oligarch buying access to the artist or his family?More Related News
