I'm not active on the forum anymore, but I wanted to clarify something that I'm not sure has been articulated?
Tony Podesta is paying people off through buying worthless art from unknown artists, for various illegal "services" that are provided to him. He's paying people. But, he, buys MANY paintings from the same artist, uses his connections to hype that artist up through various venues, and now he's actually MADE money on what first was a payment. 10 years later those paintings are worth a lot.
This is the longer arc of Tony Podesta's art collection.
Also, he has special room that can show "very complicated" video pieces in the basement (I think it was) on all four walls. This is probably used to watch rape-porn/kiddie-porn and other disturbing things.
Here is a long article on his art collection:

The "profit" is not from hype, it's just people making payments to him for illegal services by buying the still worthless art at new arbitrary prices. A small number of total suckers maybe buying hype but that's likely a small minority.

You got a point, and may be right.

Hype -- the artists reputation -- is 100% of the artworks value. The exact same thing they do on Wall Street with a stock, artificially inflate its and sell off.

it's so overvalued that it must be almost 100% fake evaluation and there is actually zero hype, except maybe with a few pretentious art students....
