Bat Crazy story of the day

• Crypto investor Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana duct-taped to a wall.
• Sotheby’s auctioned off the infamous piece of work titled “Comedian,” created by Italian artist and cultural prankster Maurizio Cattelan.
• Sun will get a roll of duct tape, instructions on how to “install” the banana and a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing it as an original work, but the banana is not included, since it will rot.

Unbelievanle idiocy.   

I saw it was up for sale. Complete fool of a man. 

It’s marketing within his group….I’d like Plum’s view on this guy.

If this was 100 years ago we would be discussing Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch. I’ll take the banana.

This guy Justin  Sun must be a   Democratic Party voter.    Evereybody in that gang  suffer from inbecility..   LMAO     

This kind of thing surely has to be money laundering.

Sure Pakie - but in the USA money laundering is not a crime and the FBI would n0t act on it even when the banks submitted reports on moneylaundering to them,     

Doubt it Pakie…this guy is a kind of Elon Musk of the crypto world and this isn’t his first crazy auction purchase:

Personal life

Sun placed the winning $4.6 million bid to have a private meal with Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett in June 2019,[29][30] before canceling it to widespread surprise.[31][32] The dinner with Buffett eventually occurred in early 2020. Sun met with Buffett, a critic of cryptocurrency, at the Happy Hollow Club in Omaha, Nebraska, on January 23, 2020.[33][34] Sun was joined by other cryptocurrency executives, including leaders of Litecoin, eToro, Huobi, and Binance Charity Foundation.[33][35] At the dinner, Sun gifted Buffett a phone with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.[36] The money from the charity auction benefited the Glide Foundation, which Buffett's late wife Susan introduced to Buffett after volunteering there.[37]

In December 2021, Sun won an auction with a bid of $28 million to be the first paying passenger to fly on Blue Origin's New Shepard vehicle in July 2021, but he was not able to fly on the mission due to a scheduling conflict.[38][34]

In November 2024, Sun purchased a copy of Comedian, a piece of conceptual art by Maurizio Cattelan consisting of a banana duct-taped to a wall, for $5.2 million.[39]

You comiorm what I said he man is a  Democrat liar and voter,    he is almost a supid as most of he D P suporters on site are ad twistd as well.     

No  SB

You are the idiot that supports B S on site- not me.     

I happen to have duct tape and a banana at home. Maybe I should try my luck.

I laughed out loud at that Plum.., brilliant. To reinforce the point, the prior owner of the banana paid serious money for it, but  made a bananza (sic).

Hahaha definitely boerwors, now that’s South African humor at it’s best!

Becoming a fixture in many NZ supermarkets.

In the States as well…but selectively.  The king of breakfasts, the boerwors mixed grill.

Pap en wors....................... with Mrs Balls chutney (hot).

So cool to hear that

I do not know nowadays  - but hei used to be a family that moved from SA to ALos Angeles and whn they came to  SA they used o buy curry powder - not sure whether it was mother-in-law hell fire brand - and Mrs Ball's chutney to take back.   The moan alsoask if I know where tey can by a table cloth - since us people do not ea at a table and  she could not find a table cloth in Los  Angeles/

I can get Mrs Balls on Amazon.

Mozart 

I wrote about the 1988-90 period and think it was before Amzon existed.   I was n Londn in 2004 and went to a special  SA shop  where they sell typical  SA products - but the prices were crazy stuff,     I   was around when that there were tens of thousands of teaches and other professionals in the UK. on short term contracts. 

The teachers especially found high school  kids impossil to control froma isciplinary perspective and most came back to SA.    My niece went to Korea  where she was teaching US army kids and she did not have that kind of problem.

I went to Edinbug for the test against Scotland and in the beer tent after the match  theee wer a lot of Springbk supporters wearing  Sringbok jerseys  a lo t of them were Aussies,    Itcame out that people from Australia . New Zealand and  SA supported all South ern Hemisphere  teams playing against NH  teams.     Some sort of SH bond existed.   Probably still does.

When the Bokke ain't involved my kind & generous nature dictates that I almost always support the underdog .  

Mort...lol.

That loo ks like droëwors...
