It’s hard to count the numbers, I see 100 in one pic. If those are real Moto Gp bikes I can see the estimate being close. Interesting way to launder money.

From snow boarder to "drug lord."
Kinda hard to unload stuff like that.

Some more details about the bikes 9 of which were MotoGp championship bikes ridden by the greats, even Scott Russel's championship bikes…….

"Now that the 62-bike haul is in the authorities' hands, it's unclear whether or not they'll be destroyed. Hopefully, they won't, and the motorcycles will be stored correctly or, even better, auctioned off. It's generally known that a large amount of money moves through Formula 1 memorabilia, but until now, MotoGP bikes have never in this realm. It'll be interesting to see where authorities wind up when they follow the money."

I wonder if there was just one front person buying the bikes for him or several. It’s a small world at that level of collecting but when you see the big car auchtions on tv it’s often a ghost bidder who wins.
