I figured inflation was bad but wow.

[gundog]

I think I could do a reasonable forgery for a couple of bucks.

I wonder if this is really just a way to pay off the mmafia for debts owed and still have it look legit in accounting.

This is another example of why idiots from Jamaica/India/Canada are nominated to govern America and rule over the America people. We’ve got idiots that are just plain hopeless and stupid. I wonder is they would pay $6.2 million for some nifty used diaper art.

[Orosius]

Nice try, but nobody will ever top Piero Manzoni, who put his own poo in tin cans and sold them to idiot collectors. Some of the cans later exploded, which was the cream of the jest.

Civilization has officially collapsed.

Pay $6.2 Million, and you still have to supply your own banana AND duct tape!

Insanity.

[V_TWIN]

“...sells again...”

P. T. Barnum was right all along

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yes. But “Anybody” can duct tape a banana to the wall.

Only Elon Musk can suspend a banana in space using piano wire.

Only we of Italian descent would think like that :)

Maybe you’re right.

‘Art’ among the well heeled is but a money laundering scheme.

[Antoninus]

Every time I hear a story like this now, my immediate thought is: “Money laundering”.

[Vision]

It’s hard to imagine people treating money like toilet paper if the Fed didn’t exist.

[ladyjane]

Mafia? that’s old school. Crypto, Deep State, Soros and others we don’t know about have taken over.

[TexasGator]

It is not art. It is money laundering.

[PeterPrinciple]

Sun purchased a certificate of authenticity that gives him the authority to duct-tape a banana to a wall and call it “Comedian.”

Speechless.
