Hunter Biden is preparing to sell his artworks at an expected exhibition for as much as $500,000 to 'anonymous and confidential' customers, sparking concerns over bribery and possible money laundering.

The scandal-plagued first son, who has no professional background as an artist, will be selling off his artwork at a solo exhibition in New York City this fall.

Biden's art merchant Georges Berges, who was imprisoned in California in the 90s for assault, told Artnet that he has priced his latest client's artworks between $75,000 and $500,000.

Art dealers have already remarked that Biden is likely thriving off his father's name given the huge price of his artwork, with one stating his art would more likely sell for as much as $100,000 if he wasn't a Biden.

All sales of Biden's artwork will be kept confidential - notwithstanding his alleged fraud over prior business deals in Ukraine and China.

It has boosted concerns that buyers with nefarious interests could possibly pay for the pieces to attempt to get access to President Biden through his son.

There are further fears from some that the sales of Biden's artwork could end in people using laundered money to purchase them and anonymous buyers in places like Russia might attempt obtaining Biden's son's work to try and get around sanctions currently imposed in their nations.

In October 2020, the US Treasury Department issued a warning that high-value art sales could be used by individuals and nations forbidden from doing business in the US as a way of circumventing that ban.

The Treasury Department advisory warned that the anonymity afforded to art buyers made it more difficult to track such illegal activity. It further warned the same buyers could then possibly re-sell the same works in the United States, allowing them to take money out of the US and possibly fund activities like terrorism.

The agency representing Biden's art dealer says it is normal for gallery and auction sales to remain confidential though this practice has been scrutinized by law enforcement agencies in recent years.

'Pricing fine art in his experiences as a gallerist is based on the demand of the work as well and the intrinsic value of it,' a statement from Berges' agency announced. 'His feeling is that within each piece - as with every artist, sales are always confidential to protect the privacy of the collector, this is standard practice for transactions in galleries as well as auction houses.'

Many on social media, though, were not convinced.

Former Trump communications director Tim Murtaugh stated in a Twitter post: 'It's now actually commonplace for people to throw piles of money at Hunter Biden. Will the rest of the corporate media care that anonymous 'collectors' are dropping large sums on the president's son, or nah?

'They couldn't possibly want anything. They're just art lovers, right?'
