Notable Quotes 2
This is hysterical. Private Art collectors are constantly buying and selling art work. They do whatever they please with it...put it on the wall, loan it to museums, keep it in the shipping box it came in. Artwork and cash to purchase the artwork are the only assets.
Let's set up a time to discuss when Brad is back next week. Some of these requests seem unreasonable, and AML should already have a lot of this info, particularly anything relating to Jeffrey Epstein personally (since we have so many accounts for him).
Red Flags 4

  • Concerns about the nature of business for Prytanee LLC (artwork investment).
