Hunter Biden's art now sells for up to $225,000 to anonymous buyers despite ethics concerns

"SoHo gallery owner George Berges, who is the art dealer for Hunter Biden, said the new paintings range in price from $55,000 to $225,000"

"Anonymous" buyers purchasing paintings from Hunter while his Father serves as President of the United States. Yea, this doesn't stink to high heaven at all.

Discuss!

 

So let me get this straight — a Republican president should be able to openly use their own businesses to funnel money from the US tax payer, his children and their spouses should be able to be part of that administration and receive fast tracked foreign loans and patients but a Democratic president’s child who isn’t part of the administration shouldn’t be able to sell art work.

You people lol

 

The corruption from our ruling elites is just insane and out of control. It's even worse that the institutions we trust to protect our citizens appear to be more concerned with protecting them and censoring what can and cannot be said in social media. With the hiring of 80K (that's 80,000) new IRS agents trageting Middle and low income families, it's just proving the entire system is becoming rigged against The American people and is serving the elite sitting at the top. It's never been more evident than today, in this age.

If The US continues on this path and people like Hunter get away with purchasing crack and sleeping with underage hookers our country will end up looking a lot like the Soviet Union. Elites with obvious crimes and schemes to make themselves wealthy are being swept under the carpet in full view of society. At the same time, people whho protest and walk on the Capital steps are being sentenced to prison terms. The hypocrisy here cannot be overlooked. In fact, it's getting to a breaking point where the American people need to start putting a stop to it.

We don't need more investigations that do not lead to convictions. We need our ruling classes to follow the same rules we are subject to and to serve in good faith, not at the expense of the people. If things are not corrected soon, we will cease to have a country.

 

So let me get this straight - a democrat president can authorize a huge government contract to a publishing company and then when he leaves office, but before he buys a house in Martha’s Vineyard, that publishing company gives him and his wife a $28 million dollar book deal.

And since we’re into whataboutisms, what about Pelosi’s insider trading deals and Maxine Waters making her daughter a millionaire by paying her to stuff envelopes? Maxine Waters is consistently listed as the most corrupt politician in America.

As for Hunter Biden’s paintings, I’ll have to admit his color choices are good and they don’t look half bad, but the prices being asked for them reeks of unethical behavior, kickbacks or money laundering. Everything you mentioned about a former president has a paper trail and can be investigated. But Biden Inc are geniuses, theyre selling something that no one can really put a price on because art is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

 

It's interesting that the identity of the buyers are being hidden. One would have to wonder if these "Master pieces" will ever see the light of day again.

 

It's essentially a scam to sell access to The President and his office. It's the only way Hunter can make any actual money. He has no other skills or qualities that are worthy of an organization. He also has no work ethics and needs to serve on boards where he doesn't do anything but makes a ton of money. With a corrupt Father and a corrupt institution behind him, he will once again find himself getting very wealthy.

 

Probably shady. Not illegal so whats the solution?
Nobody related to anyone powerful can do anything for money?

 

In all honesty, I can see copies of at least one or two of his paintings being made into posters and sold at Ikea for $5. And the joke about all of this is Biden Inc know who the buyers are.

 

Who are the buyers?

 

Is there someone illegal to sell art to?

 

You just described exactly what the Orange Stain did for 4 years.

I didn’t hear any complaints from the righties.

 

Reeks of unethical behavior and kickbacks? Just because he has a famous father?

People paying silly prices is part of American pop culture. By your measure, trump’s decision to sell NFT cards of himself as a superhero or even selling his name as a brand is no different than H Biden selling paintings.

 

That might be a problem for Hunter. Any company producing copies of any piece sold would be a copyright infringement unless the rights were sold. And if I'm not mistaken a publicly traded company would be obligated to reveal who their suppliers are.

 

Show me where I have ever defended any of the above practices? I have specifically called out the insider trading (congress, the WH and SCOTUS should be barred from active trading).

As to the book deal — the publisher made a great return off sales so it doesn’t appear to be bribery as you indicated. I don’t know exactly what deal Obama solely authorized with Penguin Random House, have a source?

Also odd that these issues are in the millions while one case involved with the trump’s is in the billions.

So if you want to cry about whataboutism at least throw it at someone that didn’t defend or ignore blatant issues of fraud like the individual I was responding to has done.

 

Gee if the buyers are the Chinese government and Hunters sells 500 paintings to them at half a million a pop, conspiracy theorists might insinuate that the Chinese government is paying the Biden administration off for giving China a pass for creating the greatest worldwide pandemic in my lifetime. Of course the buyers are just as likely to be the Ukraine government. What is certainly safe to assume is that no art enthusiasts bought his trash, only governments/individuals looking for influence with his brain dead dad.

There is only one reason to hide the identity of the buyers..... to mask the corruption.

 

Let’s assume all that’s true. Now what? Is it illegal? Should it be? Should all family members of politicians have to disclose who they do business with? You didn’t even think the president should have to just a couple years ago.

 

What “ethical concerns”?

 

You know the saying, "Sex Sells" even Huntard chomo art

 

Daaaayyyyyuuumm, IRONY BIG TIME

 

Ever hear of "Guilty by association" or we could do the long version..

 

That is really an influence accusation

 

Well for some yes! For some Na! Art is in the eye of the beholder, or in this case Groin

 

Searching for a MAGA to English translator to tell me what was you posted

 

As it's interesting that the people behind Trump's NFT are being hidden ... lots of corruption on both sides ... one of the reasons we need
to stop supporting EITHER party and elect more independents. Alaska got it right with ranked voting.

 

Try, thinking for yourself, that way you have only yourself to blame for being wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Clearly this was bad advice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
