"Charity NFT project" by supposed cancer patient raises $117,000 with stolen art before being exposed as a fraud A person claiming to be battling cancer created a "charity NFT project" ostensibly to help with her treatment. She convinced some crypto influencers to promote the project, including Andrew Wang, a popular Twitter account with nearly 200,000 followers. Wang tweeted, "I'll put my rep on the line to say this is for real amidst all the scams in our space". He claimed to have spoken with the NFT project creator's art teacher, writing: "he says she's the best student he's ever had, that her talent is too precious, that she must survive."
