Mecum Auction in Denver - Motivated by Money Laundering?

I had an interesting conversation with a patient the other day who is a fellow car-guy. Mecum is having an auction here in Denver in June, the first time they have come to Colorado. He says they only reason they are coming to the state is because they realized that legal Pot dealers have tons of dough which they can't put it in banks or any insured investment as the feds can sieze it if they do. According to him Mecum thinks these dealers will use classic cars to launder the money. He claims Mecum thinks that the pot dealers/growers will buy then transport the cars to the next Mecum auction out of state and sell them off to "clean" the money.

Make any sense? Interesting regardless.
