    Literally 90% of the comments:”art auctions are used for money laundering”.

    Imagine being so rich you have the two biggest auction companies rock paper scissors against each other. Those are some mega balls of steel.

    I wonder how many assassins would come after me if I stole all the art in one of their auctions

    Shout out to the Asian guy that had them play rock, paper scissors. Priceless. Good educational video.

    I swear some of these expensive art paintings look no different than goodwill paintings for $5

    The fact that he says the buyers are coming from whatever sector of the economy are doing well says it's obvious they only use these as vehicles to move cash and dodge taxes. They aren't interested in the art. You don't have to have money to suddenly be interested in art.

    Two decades ago Christie's and Sotheby's were found guilty for price fixing and they're still at the top of the game today.
