MattHelm, Rule 4: no discussion posts without sources

Another thought to your comment that some art bidders know and some don't know kids are involved. How could the auction house know? Or do they know? Here is one scenario: the trafficker notifies all customers to come to the auction and bid on a certain artwork. Either the person selling the work is in the know and is the trafficker, or gives a cut of the proceeds to the trafficker OR the auction house, like Sotheby's, is in the know and distributes the proceeds.

At an auction you get a list of paintings that will be sold. If you are looking to buy a kid you know the code for kids if you are just an art collector you don't recognize the code you only see the painting on the auction brochure. There is definitely money laundering involved as well. That is another benefit for both buyers and sellers who don't want to report all their income.

If you post the high bid and you want your kid there is a way for the child to be delivered to you later on that night. You go home with the painting and since you are a valued customer the kid will definitely be delivered to you. It would be part of your payment and Alefantis will want to make sure you are a satisfied customer to keep you coming back for more auctions.

This is potentially brilliant. Explains the cards in the backpack Podesta memo which I think most of us thought were Sotheby's VIP museum passes. But they could be Sotheby's auction cards, as one poster commented. Also it may be the 'cards' (not CARDs) FBI anon was talking about. It has been really bothering me why these creeps like art so much - I thought it was a self-validating thing. It still might be, but your theory makes actual sense.

And then each piece of art is like a sick souvenir of their purchase. I really think you are onto something.

Here is an article of interest:[1031 Exchange: How Art Can Be Used To Pay For Human Trafficking] ( https://archive.is/Ad0Qv/image) ) which actually calls out the Podesta brother's art and Abramovic donations. Apparently something without intrinsic value, like their "tin of dog shit" art creates a loophole to launder money and cover child trafficking.

Now, does this put the Pegasus "Museum" in a new light? I must stop comment bombing you, but this is very interesting.

You should prob remove this yourself and then post it over at v/pizzagatewhatever

It will spare a mod from removing it.
