"Former New York City mayor Eric Adams is embracing no longer being an elected official, telling a woman to "go f-k yourself" and threatening to release "the Brooklyn in me" in a now-viral video. The video circulated on social media after originally being posted on Reddit. Adams was seen talking with the female passenger while deboarding a plane at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

"One of his first ventures leaving public office was releasing a cryptocurrency token dubbed the "NYC Token," a meme coin that he insisted would be used to fight "anti-Americanism" and antisemitism.

Amid the lack of details surrounding the token, including financial supporters and what the proceeds would be used for, accusations of scamming started to surface, according to the Washington Post."
