Fraud!
By Tony Yuan

The owner had sold it for 150 million Arenzos in an unprecedented auction that captivated thousands of eager bidders. The tree went to Nogateny Stosgat, who is an eccentric billionaire. Enraged that he paid over a hundred million Arenzos for a common potted plant, Mr. Stosgat is using his wealth to “make life hell” for the witty seller.
