      Certainly my guess. No way he was actually dumb enough to pay over £600,000 just for an image someone could “steal” 1:1 just by copying and pasting.

      It was almost certainly a way to move money somewhere while retaining plausible deniability, just like with all the other scams projects he’s been part of over the years

        I think it’s the exact opposite - no money actually changed hands. They just sell worthless crap to each other to make it look valuable to suckers.
