That NFT is worth $0

Claim it as a loss on your taxes since it is an investment. Now it is “worth” whatever taxes were paid on 635,000 dollars of income, which I would guess is in the 100K range.

That doesn’t help that he actually paid $635,000 for it and now it’s worthless.

It’s as if he took half a million dollars and just set it on fire. Being able to claim a loss on his taxes, if that’s allowed (which I’m pretty sure it isn’t), doesn’t really help with that.

Or… He either didn’t actually pay that money… Or the money went to someone or something he wanted to give 635,000 dollars to already, and writing it off on his taxes is an additional side benefit.

Or aliens descended from space and messed with everybody’s minds so we all think that he’s a real person.

C’mon, stick to reality.

I guess it’s possible… But I’d consider the fraudster who famously committed financial frauds, participating in more financial fraud, to be a much more probably scenario.

Just accept the reality that dumb people make dumb “investments”.
Show threadBytemeisterMar 7
Sure, and accept that this guy has a few million dollars and can afford to pay for some “creative” accounting.
Show threadmercMar 7
Which still means he lost more than half a million dollars from a bad investment.

Clearly, you didn’t bother to read the other comments in this very thread before you posted this.

Clearly, you have an agenda and simply think that someone as dumb as Logan Paul couldn’t simply have made a dumb choice. You need to come up with some kind of conspiracy theory where he did it to benefit.

I don’t give a fuck about this guy, but I know a fucking grifter when I see a grifter, and I’ve learned not to give them the benefit of assuming that their actions are done randomly or stupidly.

Now, if you want to go deep into a thread to claim that a renowned crypto scammer isn’t running a crypto scam, you’re free to do so, but that sounds like a fucking agenda to me.

Sure, I agree. That doesn’t mean that he always wins when he tries to grift. There’s a well known expression “you can’t con an honest man”. I’m sure that he thought he was getting the better end of the deal. But, clearly he didn’t.

You don’t have to pretend he’s some omnipotent super-being who never gets scammed.

If you want to claim that Logan Paul is a genius who never gets caught in one of his own attempted scams, go for it, but… I mean… look at the guy.
