Creepy.
Donald Judd is a "minimalist" artist who was based in Marfa, Texas. He does boxes. Go figure.
James Alefantis loves Donald Judd and his boxes. Go figure. http://archive.is/WXWbz
Alefantis also mentions Donald Judd in a Kill Room Instagram photo but I can't find it. (But there's a Voat post about it below.)
Donald Judd's daughter is a featured artist at Standard Hotel in West Hollywood. (Q alerted us to the hotel chain.)
Here is the link about Judd's daughter being featured at the hotel (it didn't archive satisfactorily). http://www.standardhotels.com/tagged/donald-judd
Speaking of boxes, anybody wanna "go inside" the Standard Hotel's "box"? Just click on the girl in her underwear making love to pasta on a bed. http://www.standardhotels.com/la/properties/hollywood
Q has connected the Standard Hotel to Adam Schiff implying Schiff's involvement in blackmail pedophilia ring and in the death of the manager of the hotel in the recent helicopter crash. Q also said "What happened at those hotels?" The implication is pedophilia.
Of course Marfa, Texas is where the suspicious death of SCOTUS Scalia occurred.
Here is an older Voat post talking about Donald Judd's connection to Jimmy Comet. https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1546918
And Marina Abramovic is in this unholy mix. She and James Alefantis are buds with the owner of the Standard Hotels. They're all in pics together. The owner has been in the news for assaulting females recently. And Adam Schiff is friends with the politician who was involved in the West Hollywood death of the young black guy they were messing with and giving drugs to.
Make it stop.
I guess all this wonderful art has to do with money laundering. And you're a square if you like Norman Rockwell.
Did I mention how creepy all this is?

There's never been a scintilla of proof of the money-laundering schemes alleged on VOAT--that high prices for modern art are a way of hiding money laundering.
In fact the case I have seen for art involved in money-laudering involve UNDERPRICING THE ART to avoid import taxes or to be able to move large sums across border in physical way----take a $5 million painting to customs and declare it at $200,000, then resell it at its actual value and pocket the cash.
These second type of scheme and indeed the entire art market involves the art actually fetching high prices outside of any criminal scheme.

You and I aren't privy, because there's no "evidence" to us doesn't mean speculation is not warranted.
What do you think, is Adam Schiff a creep or what? Be honest, I have to log off soon. How about Q, you like Q ?

Yes, but theory being speculated about makes no sense. If I sell you a 1,000 dollar painting for 600K because it's really about moving money from elsewhere, and you try to sell that painting you're not going to get 600K for it. You're now out 600K. You don't actually see these wild price fluctutations in the art market. Prices are far more stable. If art was being moved at high prices for which there was no demand for that art, you'd see wild fluctutations all the time.
No I don't think Adam Schiff is a creep.
Q is fantasy.

If it's about moving money from elsewhere then you wouldn't expect to sell the painting for $600k yourself, you just surreptitiously moved $600k of your money elsewhere, i.e; paid for something off the books. It's not about what you can then make from it. The reason why the art market is perfect for this kind of money movement is because the prices aren't set in stone like many other goods, and what, on the surface, looks like an innocent purchase of art, underneath can be easy bribes and laundering, and so on, and nobody would really know except for the people directly involved in the sale.
