A case of mistaken detention has emerged in connection with a 2022 Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT theft, where law enforcement mistakenly apprehended Sam Curry, a former Yuga Labs security researcher. Cointelegraph reports that Curry was detained based on information from OpenSea logs that wrongly associated his home IP address with the theft of over $1 million worth of BAYC NFTs. Cybersecurity expert ZachXBT revealed this error in a May 9 post on X, where he confirmed identifying the wallet responsible for the heist and linking it to an now-deleted X account. This incident underscores the complexities authorities face when dealing with complex cybercrime cases, particularly those involving digital wallets and blockchain transactions.
