(77,324 posts)So then what exactly was she doing? Could it be the world's most famous Slovenian Sex Worker
aka prostitute was grifting or running some kind of scam?

(53,214 posts)they don't even try to appear creditable anymore. They really think they are royalty, above it all.

(77,324 posts)I guess if the rubes want to give these grifters their money fine by me but you would have
thought that when TFG raised $80 to stop the steal and to help in the Georgia Senate races
and spent zero on either some might have caught on that he was a con man.
Maybe Melania needed some get away money. The grand jury meets in May.

(53,214 posts)Her NFT looked like a huge scam too. She said "some" of the proceeds would go to charity, but refused to say how much.

(77,324 posts)"I wonder if that was just in New York?"
His whole family and crew are and were just grifters. Putin installed him into the W.H. just to fuck with America.
Don't be surprised come April he skedaddles out of the country and still 25% of Americans will still support him.
PatSeg
(53,214 posts)And people keep sending him money. He is as obvious as a televangelist and often caters to the same audience.
You know, people have seen such devious grifters and criminals in movies and on TV for years, yet when one shows up and real life, many don't recognize him.

(53,214 posts)I still can't wrap my brain around bitcoins.
Here is an explanation from The Verge.
At a very high level, most NFTs are part of the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is a cryptocurrency, like bitcoin or dogecoin, but its blockchain also supports these NFTs, which store extra information that makes them work differently from, say, an ETH coin. It is worth noting that other blockchains can implement their own versions of NFTs. (Some already have.)
NFTs can really be anything digital (such as drawings, music, your brain downloaded and turned into an AI), but a lot of the current excitement is around using the tech to sell digital art.

There's much more in the article, but it is giving me a headache. The more I read, the more ridiculous it sounds. In the end, some people will buy anything.

(53,214 posts)It is just a silly pastime for these people who have nothing constructive to do with their time and money. They live in a strange and exclusive little bubble.

spring of 2020 when our foreign intelligence officers told the Congressional intelligence committees that
Russia was working to help Bernie TFG instead of going after Russia he fired the intel people.

(16,159 posts)indicated that the event is coming up in April. It's being booked as a fundraiser for a new "charity" set up by the First Bimbo as an extension of the Be Best Bullshit.
But the state of Florida requires that all charities soliciting $$ must be registered with the state, and her thing is not.

(40,278 posts)What does NFT mean?
non-fungible token
NFT stands for non-fungible token, which basically means that it's a one-of-a-kind digital asset that belongs to you and you only. The most popular NFTs right now include artwork and music, but can also include videos and even tweets.Dec 18, 2021
Still not sure I quite understand it. I'm old.
Timewas
(2,739 posts)It pretty much seems to be a value of something that really has no intrinsic cash value. Basically is tied to things like Bit Coin,pretty much invisible I guess.
An example would be paying for someones tweet... Or a video they made.

(11,419 posts)If she accepted it from the designer as a gift and it was valued at more than some legal limit (and we know Mel doesn't grift cheap) she was legally required to declare it and donate it to the US. If she wants to keep it, she has to pay the market rate. And somehow I don't think a Trump will spend a cent if she can avoid it.
