Jho Low Bienalle

hopefully the Malaysian authorities able to come up with something, or perhaps curate an exhibition of artworks purchased by Jho Low for public viewing before reselling these artworks. Purchased using the 1MDB money, this fat clown is smart enough in parking his money under the purchased artworks.  https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/jho-low-forfeits-andy-warhol-claude-monet-1mdb-justice-department-1234710767/ https://complyadvantage.com/insights/art-money-laundering/ Easier than moving gold, cold hard cash, the painting will be stored somewhere (Switzerland) like a fixed deposit saving accounts with a better interest rates.
