Beeple’s Mystery NFT Buyer; Documentarian Ken Burns; Bill Hwang’s Bets, Debts, & Dominoes

Mystery art collector MetaKovan spent $69 million on Beeple’s NFT in mid-March. The man behind MetaKovan and NFT collection Metapurse, Vignesh Sundaresan, joins Joe, Andrew, Becky, and CNBC’s Robert Frank to explain his bet on blockchain-based digital art. Wall Street is still unearthing parts of the Archegos Capital forced liquidation fiasco, which prompted stock sell-offs and major losses for big banks. The latest chapter: questions about a charity run by former hedge funder Bill Hwang, the man behind the swaps and leveraged holdings that triggered the drama. Plus, documentary filmmaker Ken Burns is releasing a new series, “Hemingway.” He offers a peek into his newest work and shares his perspective on this particular moment in history, as colored by decades of documenting all things Americana.
