Crypto sleuth ZachXBT says wrong suspect detained in Bored Ape NFT theft

Law enforcement detained the wrong person for a 2022 scam that pilfered more than $1 million worth of Bored Ape non-fungible tokens (NFTs), cybersecurity researcher ZachXBT said.  In a May 9 X post, ZachXBT said he identified the wallet behind the scam and linked it to an X account that has since been deleted.  But in 2023, law enforcement detained Sam Curry, a former Yuga Labs security researcher, at an airport as a suspect in the incident, ZachXBT said. Yuga Labs is the company behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/zachxbt-wrong-suspect-detained-bored-ape-nft-theft?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
