I still want to know how much money my wife's dumb ass ex-boss lost when the bubble burst. I think he was in the mid 6 figure range.

Most people who bought them are likely still in the green compared to holding the cryptocurrency they used to purchase them, which itself is with more than the USD used to purchase the crypto.

So you'd probably be disappointed.

Wow some clowns spent nearly half a million on some of the laziest JPGs ever drawn. Wish I had been in on a grift like that. If someone can afford to spend that much on a PNG they don't need the money so it is basically victimless.

It was not 'pictures of monkeys' it was art. It was digital art. If you don't get that then you don't understand money laundering.
