A large non-fungible token (NFT) hodler of the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) lost 100 ETH, or $150,000. The loss is due to a prank bet through his registered Ethereum Name Service (ENS) address.
Bored Ape Yacht Whale Suffers Huge Asset Loss
The affected NFT whale is Franklin Caldwell, who goes by the moniker on Twitter “franklinisbored” and owns 57 BAYC NFTs. On Wednesday, he used a different wallet to create the ENS domain “stop-doing-fake-bids-its-honestly-lame-my-guy.eth.”
He was trying to get the EnsBidsBot account to tweet about a sizable 100 ETH offer on an ENS domain. Moreover, Caldwell made this as part of a joke about using such Twitter pages, which he had mentioned with other NFT collectors in the ecosystem.
