Broooooooooooooooos!!!

Well, Seth Green's terrible idea for a Bored Ape series based on the characters he accrued has sunk. The actor fell victim to a common phishing scam and several of the images were stolen from his crypto wallet, including one Bored Ape worth $200,000.

He recently took to Twitter, begging fellow crypto bros to not purchase the stolen NFTs and even attempted to contact someone who did buy one.

"Well frens it happened to me. Got phished and had 4NFT stolen," Green wrote on Twitter on May 17. "Please don't buy or trade these while I work to resolve: @DarkWing84 looks like you bought my stolen ape—hit me up so we can fix it."

For Green, this phishing stalls his plans for a series titled White Horse Tavern, which follows the premise: "What if your friendly neighborhood bartender was Bored Ape Yacht Club #8398?" You can see the haloed Bored Ape named Fred Simian in a trailer for White Horse Tavern.

On Saturday, in an interview with crypto hype man Gary Vaynerchuk, Green shared more details about the "kidnapping" of his precious ape.

"I bought that ape in July 2021, and have spent the last several months developing and exploiting the IP to make it into the star of this show," Green tells Vaynerchuk during VeeCon. "Then days before—his name is Fred by the way—days before he's set to make his world debut, he's literally kidnapped."

The show may move forward in the unlikely event that Green's NFTs are returned to him, but for now whoever stole them owns the usage rights due to the completely absurd way that NFTs and the blockchain are designed to work. Maybe the thief is the good guy in all of this, saving us from viewing a show about a Bored Ape bartender? Either way, Green's still doing everything he can to bring them home.

Someone "kidnapped" Seth Green's NFT ape and now he cannot make a show based on it

[OuterSpace]

This is retarded

Hahahaha sometimes you just don't feel bad at all when someone gets robbed. Oh no your monkey cartoons were stolen and now you can't make a horrifically unfunny show with them in a desperate attempt at raising their value.

...This is a good question on several levels.

Hard to be sympathetic when mothers and fathers can't find baby formula.

"Right click + Save As" could have prevented this. Now he'll have to join Andy Dick's gay druggie zoomer harem for attention.

[Stilton Disco]

Anything that hammers another nail in this bizarre and frankly dystopian get rich quick scheme is good in my book, but this takes the biscuits for sheer retardedness all round.

I can't understand the ape NFT thing for the life of me, where does the perceived value for these NFT's originate especially when it's the same fucking picture with different accessories/colors

Also.....isn't Seth Green successful enough to not get involved with such bullshit, how much fuck you money do you really need that you gave assholes 260k versus just taking another stupid token and making it successful. Hope the show bombs too, rich people suck
