    If you’re an astute collector, fine watches are (like art) a solid form of investment.

      Prove me wrong: Fine art is a money laundering scheme.

      You get some guy who went to art school to slosh some house paint on a sheet. You then hire a white woman who dresses like Malian royalty to come describe it in contradictory adjectives “It’s subtle, yet bold” while her gay sidekick in a turtleneck flamboyantly slaps his face and gasps. Sell $20 worth of cotton and $30 worth of Valspar for $3.247 million, and you’ve just successfully covered up the sale of 94 more brown women.

        Prove me wrong: Fine art is a money laundering scheme.

        Why would I try when it is a fact? I would caveat that fine art “can be” a money laundering scheme (quite easily). It isn’t always a money laundering scheme.
