A cryptocurrency tied to Tiger King” fell on Monday after the Supreme Court decided not to entertain the appeal case of Joseph Maldonado-Passage, the central figure in Netflix Inc.'s (NASDAQ:NFLX) “Tiger King” documentary.

Tiger King Coin Is Almost Worthless Today

Tiger King Coin (TKING), available on Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and BNB Chain (CRYPTO: BNB), fell 0.6% in the last 24 hours to $0.0000001937, according to CoinGecko. The coin had a fully diluted valuation of $180,653, with just $1,140 worth of TKING changing hands over the past 24 hours.

TKING is down 40% year-to-date, and has erased 99% of its value since its peak in November 2021.

No Relief For Exotic

The Supreme Court declined to review the case of former zookeeper and convicted felon Maldonado-Passage, which stemmed from his conviction for a murder-for-hire plot.

Maldonado-Passage, better known as Joe Exotic, rose to fame in 2020 following the release of the Netflix documentary “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness.” The series chronicled his rivalry with animal rights activist Carole Baskin, culminating in his attempts to orchestrate her murder.

Consequently, he was sentenced to 22 years in prison and is currently serving his term at the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth.

In their appeal to the Court earlier in February, Exotic’s legal team argued that there were issues with the testimony of witnesses during the trial.
