The former Trump attorney who fumbled the bag hard enough to land himself in prison, and his former employer under special investigation, is now selling his prison badges as an NFT because we are currently living in the worst scenario.
The news that Donald Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen is auctioning off a digital version of his inmate badge should come as no surprise to those who know about NFTs or Cohen's crash from Park Avenue to an upstate New York prison.
Cohen was known as Trump's "fixer" for more than a decade at the real estate mogul's side and on various Trump-related boards until the investigation into alleged Russian electoral interference began.
Cohen was under investigation for a number of crimes, including campaign finance violations and bank and tax fraud, and was in prison from May to June 2020 due to the COVID-19 epidemic.
Cohen, who was released from house arrest on November 22, said that he would be releasing his prison NFTs on the ArtGrails platform and that they would be auctioned off at this weekend's Miami Art Week.
Cohen is selling a handwritten portion of his memoir, "Disloyal," which he penned in the clink, along with a digital reproduction of his Otisville Federal Correctional Institution badge. He is selling a video of him writing the book, which was recorded by an unnamed colleague, as Page Six reported.
It is hard to pity the guy, who had his life destroyed by an employer he used to go to bat for on television and now hates them. Selling NFTs seems like a good way to make a quick buck after being under house arrest.
Cohen's character is on the other side. The lawyer was well-known for his pay-to-play taxi scheme which saw Manhattan drivers pay upwards of $10,000 for the privilege of ferrying people around in cabs. According to court records, he was in debt to the tune of $22 million from the loans he took out.
It is hard to imagine who would want to buy a man's prison badges, but then again, people have paid enormous sums for stupider NFTs. Who knows? All bets are off in Trumpworld.
Michael Cohen's prison badges will be sold as NFTs at Miami Art Week.
