Former Yuga Labs security researcher mistaken for suspect in BAYC NFT theft case

Gate.io News bot message, on-chain detective ZachXBT has revealed that in a Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT theft case that occurred in 2022, law enforcement mistakenly listed former Yuga Labs security researcher Sam Curry as a suspect.

According to Cointelegraph, the error stemmed from investigators misinterpreting the Sam Curry family's IP address in the OpenSea logs. The case involves 14 stolen BAYC NFTs, each valued at around $86,000 at the time, totaling approximately $1.1 million.

ZachXBT has confirmed the wallet address of the real attacker and has linked it to a currently deleted account on platform X.
