The $170,000 purchase of an NFT collection auctioned by Melania Trump was made by the entity that originally put the NFT up for sale, according to blockchain records.
Read what you think you wrote.

“Analyzing the Very Bizarre Sale of Melania Trump’s $170,000 NFT
The crypto used to purchase the former first lady’s NFT came from the NFT creator themselves, blockchain records reveal.”
Nothing suspicious here either.

In general, I like the idea of NFTs for digital goods. The good thing about the blockchain, is that you can check the provenance (it's not always intuitive for n00bs, but it's not exactly rocket science either).
Say you are BIG ARTIST , and someone rips off your idea/concept, and publishes it as theirs, it's gonna be relatively trivial to put out an announcement that this is fake, and point them towards the correct contract, thus proving validity of the correct version.
Think of it like this: I could go to Times Square and start selling Apple computers outside the iStore, but no-one is gonna believe my claims I am Steve Jobs' reincarnation, even if I'm shouting that I personally oversaw hordes of Indonesian children in the process of manufacturing it...
Fakes and counterfeits will ALWAYS exist, why would digital goods be any different? The difference with blockchain-based ones, is they are very transparent
