  • How The Boys Trolled Donald Trump's NFT Trading Cards After Teasing 'Marjor Announcement'

    From toofab.com

    Donald Trump may think the country is in need of a new superhero ... but his latest venture didn't go over well with the supes from "The Boys." On Wednesday, the ex-POTUS teased that he would be "making a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT" on Thursday, exclaiming on his Truth Social page that "AMERICA NEEDS A SUPERHERO!" When the big reveal came, however, the "MAJOR" announcement was simply that he was releasing a bunch of ridiculous NFTs -- or "digital trading cards" -- showing him in full-superhero garb going for $99 a piece. "The Boys" lead Antony Starr was one of the first from the show to react to the ludicrous images -- ... (full story)

Politics aside, the fact that an obese man with hair plugs put out a collection of jpegs that portray himself as a ripped superhero, and people actually bought it, is an acute sign of the times.
Exhibit A
Laughable Photoshop jobs, adding Trump's face to images from page 1 of Google image search results = dirt cheap production cost.

Exhibit B
100 cards is the self-imposed limit they're allowing people to buy. At $99*100 = $9,900... It's just a hundred dollars shy of the limit that the Bank of Secrecy Act requires on transaction reporting.

Exhibit C
Trump's disclaimer that proceeds will not be used for political purposes.

Exhibit D
NFTs are traditionally an amazing money laundering vehicle.

Exhibit E
Sold out in 12 hours. I don't doubt the Cult45, but even this is unbelievable. Especially when his followers likely don't even know what an NFT is. Can you really see then adding it to their Metamask wallet?

That's a nice, clean $4.5M in Donny's pocket. Respect


Respect the legend.
