Banksy art burned, destroyed and sold as token in ‘money-making stunt’

An original Banksy, which was burnt and destroyed in a livestreamed video, has been sold via a digital token representing the work for $380,000 (£274,000). A video shared by the BurntBanksy account shows a masked man setting fire to the art with a lighter. One art critic has dismissed the event as a “stunt” to make money.
