Cyberspace reported that crypto investigator ZachXBT said law enforcement agencies had "mistakenly detained" suspects in the 2022 theft of $1.4 million from Bored Ape NFT. ZachXBT said it had identified the wallet associated with the fraud and linked it to a now-deleted X account. In 2023, former Yuga Labs security researcher Sam Curry was arrested at the airport in connection with the case. "It is regrettable that a security researcher was detained when in fact a stronger lead already existed as to who might be responsible," ZachXBT pointed out. He also said Curry used a private key embedded in the website's JavaScript during the investigation. ZachXBT used online money flow tracking to identify a more likely person involved in the case and called on law enforcement to investigate its social media and online transaction data.
