‘Tiger King’ star and convicted animal abuser Joe Exotic to launch NFT from prison
The nonfungible token industry isn’t over yet, as Tiger King star Joe Exotic is set to launch his own NFT drop from prison.
With the support of Rozenfeld Meyer & Susman entertainment attorney Brad Small, Joseph Maldonado-Passage, known professionally as Joe Exotic, plans to sell some of his belongings with digital items and tokens from a federal prison in Forth Worth, TX.
The physical items include Maldonado-Passage’s favorite pistol and holster, jackets frequently worn on the Tiger King series, and authentic audio recordings from prison.
Starting Friday, the public can bid on the “Official Tiger King NFT” auction, which will be hosted on major nonfungible token marketplace Mintable. The auction winners will acquire physical items with authentication papers and 3D digital models of each tangible collectible.
