The Art World makes a lot more sense when you look at it through the lens of a giant money laundering operation

Yep. It's just a token used to move money around.

If I owe you $100 million for some criminal or nefarious reason... Hey, nice painting you got there, it's worth $100 million you say?

Now I have the token and when someone needs to pay me, I can just pass it along. The token isn't worth anything.
