.FBI now owns a Bored Ape NFT

Since December 2021, ZachXBT has tracked over 600 compromised Discord servers and more than a dozen hacked NFT Twitter accounts, which have resulted in millions of dollars being stolen.

The investigation revealed that Redman sold Twitter panel access to scammers HZ and Popbob in June, which enabled them to hack NFT Twitter accounts and defraud people. ZachXBT noticed that HZ recently flaunted an iced-out Audemars Piguet watch on Twitter and suspected that he paid for it with crypto. The on-chain sleuth reached out to a watch seller and confirmed that the watch was indeed purchased by HZ using stolen funds. The address used by HZ to pay for the watch was directly funded by multiple addresses linked to phishing attacks on NFT and crypto.
