You know the awesome new fad that's akin to crypto and secured by blockchain?

Scams are already rampant.
[tweet][/tweet]

You follow the tweet for the full breakdown, but essentially people are out there creating NFTs for stuff they don't own.

To be honest, if you spend money on an NFT, you probably deserve to get ripped off anyway.

Before I clicked in and read this, I thought "These shouldn't be separate threads."

These remind me of all those coins and plates that the Franklin Mint would make.

Primary use is money laundering, right?

Spending thousands to millions on bullshit that doesn't exist?

How could it not be primarily for money laundering?

99% of crypto is crime. The other 1% is web3 evangelists.

Fools and their money are easily parted.

Every part of this article is hilarious. The first paragraph is awesome. The fact that someone bought a Castlevania NFT for $26K is insane. Who the fuck is the market for that? How are you going to make money? The fact this was for the 35th anniversary and they're a year late makes it all that much funnier.

Nike suing a company over NFTs.

The company StockX was selling unauthorized images of Nike's shoes as NFTs.

This is the funniest thing you'll read today.

Convicted scammer going legit.
“I’m trying to move away from this like, quote unquote scammer persona,” Sorokin, who is still in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, said from the Orange County Correctional Facility in upstate New York.
How is she doing that? By selling NFTs...
The infamous socialite minted 10 NFTs that will grant holders "exclusive access" to her, which includes perks like one-on-one phone calls, she told NBC News' Savannah Sellers in a recent interview.

Three "ultra platinum" NFTs grant the opportunity to meet Sorokin in person, and holders will receive a package of "personal items" from Sorokin.
I'd be more inclined to believe her if she just opened an OnlyFans page instead of NFTs.
