Seth Green fell for a phishing scam earlier this month, losing four NFTs including Fred Simian, an image from the Bored Ape Yacht Club series.

Since someone else has the ape, Green no longer owns its commercial rights, and the series cannot move forward. Via Buzzfeed News and Motherboard, the theft took place on May 8th after Green unknowingly visited a phishing site.

I support all human rights, and trans rights are human rights. Live your best life. Use your preferred pronouns. Be the gender that you feel that you are. But meet me halfway, ladies: Lose the cock. That’s all I’m saying.” A message tha...
