A simple explanation. It is not about the art, it is about the money. If you transfer a million dollars from LA to London, there are taxes and fees. If you buy a painting for a million dollars and transfer the ownership of the "painting" to someone in London, there are no fees and taxes. Even CNN admits there is a problem (cnn.com)

I know that, also buying illegal content, if I wanted to buy some sex slaves I might have to explain where a couple of grand went for my purchase. Paintings are cheap and easy to make when modern art is the standard so I throw garbage at a canvas, buy the slaves but on paper I bought the painting instead. I swear that's what Podesta did and his paintings are trophies (particularly the ones of kids tied up)
