In this investigation, we keep seeing "artists" pop up like Jeff Koons and Marina Abramovic, or the extreme interest in the art scene by the Podesta brothers and James Alefantis, who owns art galleries. Why?
Here, prominent economist and art collector Nouriel Roubini explains his suspicions that the modern art market is often just a front for money laundering (the value is completely subjective, so you can pay anything you want without raising suspision)

I'm looking specifically at the Serpentine Gallery in London, which is basically run by the British government. Here is a list of the "artists" they represent; many of which create extremely disturbing "art":
Man Ray, Henry Moore, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Paula Rego, Bridget Riley, Allan McCollum, Anish Kapoor, Christian Boltanski, Philippe Parreno, Richard Prince, Wolfgang Tillmans, Gerhard Richter, Gustav Metzger, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Marina Abramović
from another messageboard:
It turns out that Jeff Koons is more to Alefantis than an artist he admires. To begin with, Koons is very involved with the DC/East Coast art scene.
Here on page 10 both Alefantis and Koons are mentioned as being involved in the DC art scene for example:

But none of these circumstantial bits of evidence are as important as the discovery that Correct the Record paid Jeff Koons $50,000 according to their SEC filing, seen here on page 9:

Correct the Record is run by David Brock, who is in a relationship with James Alefantis. Here is a link confirming this and showing them caught up with another individual in some kind of blackmail love triangle:

Here is a photo of Brock on Alefantis' Instagram:

Jeff Koons Work Connections to the NCMEC How is the connection to Koons Important? Koons is a board member of the International Center for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC).
You can find an admission of that fact on his own web page:

The ICMEC was founded in 1998 by none other than the NCMEC:

Could this explain why "art" and "artists" seem to keep coming up in this investigation? (and possibly also why "modern art" is so gross)

I'm one of those people who likes art that most people don't consider to be "real" art, but even I don't think a few coloured shapes and lines on a canvass are worth eleveney dollars. Those dollars totally went through the wash a few times....
