On June 4th Logan Paul announced that he would be auctioning his #40 Original NFT, the #404 error and one of its perks was that the buyer of the NFT will get a chance to appear in Paul’s podcast, Impaulsive.

However, what Paul did not expect was that it would sell for 165 Ethereum or $300,000 in the auction, and the person who bought the NFT was none other than entrepreneur and social media personality Dan Fleyshman. After his extremely pricey purchase, he was given the privilege to join The Maverick on Impaulsive where he went on to share a story of how he lost a company worth $65 million overnight.
