According to Cointelegraph, the error stemmed from investigators misinterpreting the Sam Curry family’s IP address in the OpenSea logs. The case involves 14 stolen BAYC NFTs, each valued at around $86,000 at the time, totaling approximately $1.1 million.

ZachXBT has confirmed the wallet address of the real attacker and has linked it to a currently deleted account on platform X.
