The people behind Melania Trump’s NFT were also the ones to purchase it, according to blockchain records.
The former first lady released an NFT of her portrait, reportedly valued at $250,000, during an auction in late January. A recent investigation of the blockchain connected to the sale found that the NFT was purchased with 208 Solana tokens, or more than $200,000, by what appear to be the same parties who created the nonfungible token.
