In a jaw-dropping move that blends art, cryptocurrency, and audacity, Chinese-born crypto mogul Justin Sun took a bite out of Maurizio Cattelan's $6.2 million masterpiece, Comedian, at a press conference in Hong Kong. The infamous art piece? A banana duct-taped to a wall. Yes, you read that right. And now he owns it.
