Editor’s Note: August 9th at 12pm BST: The anonymous account in question has deleted the Facebook post referenced in this article. CryptoSlate seeks comment.
The world-famous hacker group Anonymous appears to have set its sights on Yuga Labs after it was posted on Facebook from a verified Anonymous account.
This post mentions Nxg4n, Jeremy Cahen and Ryder Ripps. They have recently been very vocal in their claims that the Bored Ape Yacht Club is of Nazi origin. The post has since been deleted and CryptoSlate has asked for comment on the reason for the deletion. An archived copy will appear below.
The directly called account is nxg4n, which only tweets about Yuga Labs and BAYC, and continues the thread where Ryder Ripps was sued by Yuga Labs. This claim revolved around the theory that Yuga Labs’ images and language may be linked to Nazi content. The biggest indicator of Nazi affiliation is the similarity between the BAYC logo and the Nazi symbol, as shown below.
So, a fully tattooed Hindu Jew who eats nothing but cheeseburgers, his company was named “Yuga Lab” after “Kali Yuga.” The term has been debated by neo-Nazi Richard Spencer for seven years, and the company’s logo is a Nazi crest…coincidence? smile.. pic.twitter.com/ySBlaqAg0c

Yuga Labs is suing Ryder Ripps.
“False indications of origin, false advertising, cybersquatting, trademark infringement, unfair competition, unfair enrichment, proselytism, and unlawful interference.”
Since the lawsuit was filed, Ryder Ripps has been campaigning against Yuga Labs, tweeting on Monday, “They are suing me for refusing to even show them.”
Did you know Kali Yuga Labs is suing me over this logo I made? They’re suing me for refusing to even show it. pic.twitter.com/7K67P5iIkI

In a post on Sunday, nxg4n said it would take a “slightly different approach” to that of Ryder Ripps in allegations of exposing Yuga Labs’ apparent ties to Nazism.
Romantic and yet very ambitious.
We take a slightly different approach.
But you got our attention.

Nxg4n continues to tweet about conspiracy theories related to Yuga Labs, as seen below. At this time, however, no new information has been released to suggest evidence of a connection between racists and Nazi symbolism.
And perhaps a copy of the non-disclosure agreement that must accompany the million dollar bonus offered, say Seneca?#Burn Bay C #BAYC #nft community https://t.co/YYyS39mg1q

Anonymous is a decentralized collective of hackers around the world with no publicly known central leadership. Therefore, it is always difficult to validate claims from groups claiming to be “The” Anonymous. However, the page in question has been confirmed on Facebook and has over 1 million followers.This page has pinned promotional posts anon token, which is currently down 87% from its March 2022 all-time high, trading at $0.03.according to BSC scanwith about 3,000 token holders and a market capitalization of $3.4 million.
There have been reports that this project has nothing to do with the “real” Anonymous and is a scam token.Search for tokens with twitter Only launch small crypto accounts looking to pump tokens.
This is not a genuine anonymous account. This looks like an account takeover trying to piggyback on the current event to promote their own crappy cash earning token. What is an anon token? https://t.co/GHuiSbz0Lf pic.twitter.com/tN7aUkacEh

Author’s Note: No entity has ever been able to legally verify the identity of an anonymous account. I feel responsible for pointing out that the account in question may be fake. I think it’s worth it. Only time will tell if Anonymous is really eyeing her BAYC.
