🖼 Brooklyn DA shuts down 40 NFT scam sites after artist loses $135,000 A cryptocurrency scam targeting artists nationwide has been dismantled by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office after an 85-year-old painter lost his life savings of $135,000 to a bogus NFT art marketplace, officials said. The victim, a Clinton Hill resident, was lured into the scheme by an online scammer posing as an art dealer on LinkedIn. The scammer convinced him to sell his artwork as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on a fraudulent site mimicking a legitimate NFT marketplace.
