When you have lots of ill gotten gain to hide you have to find creative ways to launder the loot. Lucky for Hunter his dad is Quid Pro Joe ;the ultimate pay to play artist .

Hunter needed a hobby and a way to launder cash . What to do ?
He got some canvas and some water color paint . He put the 2 together and "painted " elementary school quality works of art .

He put them on the open market for sale ;and the White House in 2021 insisted that the buyers of his work would remain anonymous. Think about it . People buy paintings to hang on the wall so other people can see the art. So people will know who purchased the work .

He made a stack of cash selling his paint by number work .

Prices for Biden’s prints range from $75,000 to $500,000.

Hunter Biden’s Paintings - Rare Talent or Pure Hype? (artincontext.org)

One sucker purchased 8 pieces for $875,000


Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a Los Angeles real-estate investor,and Dem donor bought some of Hunter’s works..She also was appointed by Quid to the Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad. Were the 2 events related ?

Another buyer is Kevin Morris; a wealthy compadre of the Bidens. He also at one time gave Hunter a $2 million "loan" to pay off back taxes.

Not so much purchasing art as purchasing influence. I would imagine that most of those paintings ended up in a trash barrel.

The art world is a notorious venue for money laundering

I am not sure how it would work in Hunter's case except I suspect the art is purchased with money that originated in Ukraine or China.

It was all about access (of course )

Well how about that? HB's plea bargain has fallen apart. Now what?

[tomder55]

addressed it here I am suspicious

McCarthy says it's impeachment time .......almost (askmehelpdesk.com)

UPDATE

Judge Noreika rejected the plea deal after she learned the deal included immunity from all future charges against him

She asked the prosecutors what additional charges They refused to answer . She asked if one of the charges was violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) .Again they refused to answer . This was the statute that Michael Flynn ,Richard Gates and Paul Manafort were both convicted on.

Hunter plead not guilty . For now it will go to trial . But in the next month a new deal could be made. I bet there will be.


Now about his corrupt lawyers . .....Would debarment be out of the question?

Another thought. All this would not have gone down this way if not for the IRS whistleblower testimony and yesterday's dirty trick being caught

There may be a wink and a nod that they need a month to cool things down before they go ahead with the plea deal

I'll believe everything is up and up when the process unfolds

here is the original plea deal It makes lots of references to substance abuse as if that was the cause of him being the point man in the Biden crime family corruption .

Yesterday the DOJ added charges to Trump's document trial and indicted MAL's maintenance boss Carlos De Oliveira.
