As the interest in NFT increased, a significant growth was seen in the number of projects and the investor base. While some investors are turning to invest in this area, which they find more profitable in cryptocurrencies, the sad news continues to come.
Finally, it was claimed that the anonymous developers of the Evolved Apes project in OpenSea escaped with $2.7 million and closed their social media accounts.
The project first appeared as a “collection of 10,000 unique NFTs trapped in a lawless land” and quickly became popular. The fact that the project had promises for the future also misled the investors. Because in the project, “They are fighting to survive, only the strongest monkey will be victorious”, referring to the fighting game that is expected to be implemented in the future.
The developer of this NFT project with images of monkeys disappeared, closing his social media accounts and website.
However, those who invest in the project are not willing to give up immediately. The victims who come together will try to keep the series alive by creating a new project called Fight Back Apes.
The base price of NFTs dropped as low as 0.005 ETH after the scandal emerged.
In addition to opening the door to many opportunities, the NFT field has also become a new favorite of scammers. It is recommended that investors do the necessary research on its reliability before investing in a project.
