It’s a little crazy how cryptocurrency investors can easily ruin their entire lives with a few small mistakes.
user @suthie86 (opens in new tab) I managed to snipe the NFT God’s Bored Ape after it was stolen. Henry now appears to be safely at home with his owner. I believe the transaction was around 16.65 ETH (he’s $25,800 at the time of writing). This is basically the price Dr. 1% Better over here originally paid. No ransom is charged here.
Subsequent posts on NFT God’s 1% Better account seem to reflect the recent turmoil. “The only way to guarantee growth is discomfort.”
So at least they may have learned something from the experience.
