A cryptocurrency entrepreneur who spent $6.2m (€5.9m) on a piece of conceptual art consisting of a simple banana duct-taped to a wall has eaten the fruit in a publicity stunt.
Chinese-born Justin Sun peeled off the duct tape and enjoyed the banana at a press conference held in The Peninsula Hong Kong, one of the city’s most expensive hotels, in the popular shopping district of Tsim Sha Tsui.
