'It's not leaving until they pay me': sculptor holds Trump statue hostage [View all]
"In a foundry in the hills of Ohio lies a colossal bronze statue of President Trump that was recently coated in gold on the orders of a consortium of cryptocurrency entrepreneurs."
"It is a work of art by the sculptor Alan Cottrill showing Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, standing and punching the air moments after he survived a would-be-assassin’s bullet."
"It is also a hostage."
“ 'They said: ‘Oh don’t worry Alan, we’ll pay you, we’ll pay you,' Cottrill said of his patrons, a group of 16 cryptocurrency enthusiasts who commissioned the statue to honour President Trump."
“ 'What they owe me is $91,200,' he said on Tuesday. 'They know it’s not leaving until they pay me.' "
