The seller also noticed that Cowell "was picking up all sorts" of rare Pokemon cards while he was at the show.
Since the resurgence of the Pokemon franchise, the Japanese mob has been using some Pokemon
cards to launder money. In May, a UK man was arrested in possession of over $300k worth of stolen Pokemon cards. Even unofficial collectibles like the Charizard-Shaped Cheeto aka Cheetozard sold for $72k earlier this year.
