ZachXBT: Law enforcement mistakenly detained former Yuga Labs security researcher in 2022 BAYC NFT theft case

According to Cointelegraph, blockchain detective ZachXBT stated that law enforcement mistakenly detained former Yuga Labs security researcher Sam Curry for a 2022 cyber theft case that stole approximately $1.1 million worth of BAYC NFTs. ZachXBT stated that he has identified the wallet behind the scam and associated it with an X account that has now been deleted. In December 2022, an anonymous attacker stole 14 Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs, with each NFT trading for approximately $86000 at the time. The law enforcement department subsequently "mistakenly reviewed OpenSea's logs, which included [Curry]'s home IP address, and used this address to mistakenly list him as a suspect".
