Tom Brady Pays Fan an Entire Bitcoin to Get a Special Ball Back
Football legend and team member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tom Brady has paid a fan an entire bitcoin to get a special football back.

No player has ever achieved such a touchdown milestone, and this made the ball one of the most special items in the history of the sport. Unfortunately, Evans did not realize the significance of the ball and handed it to a fan named Byron Kennedy in the audience.
Realizing how important the ball was, several team representatives began negotiating with the fan to get it back. Overall, Kennedy received as much as $100,000 in gifts – including an entire bitcoin from Brady himself – to hand the ball back, though many analysts estimate the ball itself may have been worth as much as $500,000, and Brady admits Kennedy may have received the short end of the stick.
