  1. Joe gives Kevin $1mil worth of Cocaine.
  2. Joe draws an ape in MS paint.
  3. Kevin buys the digital ape drawing from Joe for $1mil in Bitcoin.

That is how you launder money with art and Bitcoin.

Because it's normally suspicious if someone gives $1mil for no reason, but if you know it's for a monkey jpeg, then it's normal.
