Opinion: How Joe Biden Could Have Received His 10%

 

According to news reports, one of Hunter Biden's business partners claims that Hunter Biden was keeping 10% of the Chinese energy deal for his father. While many have said that it's unproven Joe Biden was actually involved in this deal, it is very possible that Hunter successfully laundered this money to his father.

How do you launder several million dollars? Through book sales.

Time frame is crucial here. The email stating that 10% was to be held by Hunter for "the big guy" was sent on May 13, 2017.  It's very coincidental that the Bidens received nearly twice as much income in 2017 than the previous 19 years combined. This large jump in revenue is due to speaking deals and book sales funneled through two S corporations - Celticcapri Corp and Giacoppa Corp.

Follow the money, and you'll see some of the book sales were made in large bulk orders, such as Marty Walsh spending $18,000 on copies of Biden's book. The original estimated value of the Bidens' book deal was only $8 million, and yet the Bidens earned almost twice that amount.

The timing of Biden's book deal is impeccable. If Hunter Biden wanted to launder money to his dad, all he would have to do is go buy more books. If I was looking to launder millions of dollars to a high-profile person in the public eye, that's how I would do it.

Perhaps it's time to start looking more closely at who was buying the Bidens' books in bulk?

Follow the money.
