The guy who bought it, Justin Sun, ate it. So unless it's going to get really meta (and stinky) he's not going to resell it.

The thing being bought by him was not a specific physical banana, so he can resell what was sold just fine if he wants to.

Net worth $1.6B. So eating a $6M banana is a PR stunt.

Edit: Also doesn't mean it can't be resold as that banana gets replaced x number of days.

That would be a piece of art.
