It's never happened before, and here it is again! Several investors in the cryptocurrency world have been scammed and suffered huge losses. For example, a serial cheater recently stole seven Bored Apes from one person's BAYC collection, causing $700,000 in losses.
The owner of the tokens didn't even have time to properly deploy the malicious contract before his monkeys had already fallen into the wrong hands. Just kidding, of course, he had time to poke at the evil contract... Ouch, the joke failed because you didn't get a laugh. Let's move on.
One of the stolen NFTs is BAYC #6567, which the owner bought for 190 ETH a few days ago. The scammer quickly sold it for 63 ETH almost immediately. In other words, the scammer has already cheated several other NFT holders in the past.
There is such a dude, ZachXBT, a real detective in the NFT world. He told me that from all indications, this scammer has been doing his dirty work for a relatively long time. And the Bored Ape 8941 scam that occurred last month was also the result of this scammer's shenanigans.
And recently, the official BAYC account was also hacked, and 4 NFTs were stolen at once...
