According to Cringepolitics, NFT Falling Man is reminiscent of a photograph of the same name taken by Associated Press reporter Richard Drew during the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York.
Another user complained to the marketplace support service about the token. GameStop has promised to remove NFT and has already stated that they have eliminated the possibility of minting money from the author.
Another member of the crypto community noticed that the pixelated original photo of “Falling Man” has been on sale for two months on OpenSea, the leading NFT marketplace.
Added relevant screenshots and a link. At the time of publication, OpenSea did not respond to the allegations.
Falling Man NFT is live @offshore plus for two months. Stupid People trying to embarrass @GameStopNFT to download in one day! say
#GameStopNFT needs to do better content control

Recall that trading volume on NFT marketplaces dropped 74% in June.
That same month, Yuga Labs, the company behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club collection, sued artist Ryder Ripps for issuing and selling “fake” tokens that devalued the original works.
