Grifters are gonna grift, but this whole new-fangled crypto stuff is all about maintaining a permanent record in the blockchain, so Melania and her NFTeam got caught buying their own NFT.
Now, according to Solana blockchain records reviewed by Motherboard and shared with an independent researcher, we know who bought the NFT collection: Melania Trump herself, or at least, whoever set up the auction for her. In a statement to Motherboard from “the Office of Melania Trump,” Trump said “the nature of Blockchain protocol is entirely transparent. Accordingly, the public can view each transaction on the blockchain. The transaction was facilitated on behalf of a third-party buyer.”
Despite the transparent nature of the blockchain, however, Trump’s office would not elaborate on who actually bought the NFT or the details around why the transaction was set up so that the creator of the NFT provided the crypto to the auction winner, and seemingly got the funds back.
