Artists sell art. That’s what they do.

But what about those in the federal House of Reps and Senate? Similarly, state equivalents as well, and so on and so forth?

Hey…. Remember when we learned that the former President had done a couple million dollars worth of business in Turkey and then we learned that at the behest of Erdogan the President worked to quash an investigation and drop indictments for Halkbank who was working to get around sanctions on Iran and no one cares?
Yeah. Me too.

Some art is sold where the purchaser is anonymous.
That’s your take.
Other people have different opinions.
That’s art. Ones mans Picasso is another ones fake scam artist.
You don’t like hunter, we all get that.

I think some cons here will be disappointed when the prices realized for the hunters art are low.

And they aren’t known con men
A bit difficult to make that claim if the person is anonymous.

Except all art is appraised! The dude who appraised Hunter is sketchy himself dude went to jail for conning people himself

Didn’t happen.
But remember when we learned that before Trump became President he and his siblings set up a shell company to siphon off as much wealth as possible from his ailing father in order to avoid millions of dollars in taxes AND that action had the added benefit of artificially adding costs to the management of rent controlled apartments which was then turned around and used as a reason to raise rents.
And then…. Say it with me… no one cared?
Yeah… me too.

Of course it happened! Both presidents shook down foreign countries! Except Hunter was under investigation when Biden pulled that plug

That isn’t an even wrong interpretation of what happened.

It’s not cute! Nothing was done in either case so why the faux outrage here?
People have differing opinions of the worth of a piece of art. For example, some were critical of the price paid for Blue Poles. The purchase price in 1973 was around 1.3 million dollars. In 2016 it was estimated to worth 350 million dollars.
