【ZachXBT: Innocent Researcher Wrongfully Detained, True Culprit of BAYC NFT Theft Case is Someone Else】Golden Finance reports that crypto investigator ZachXBT stated that law enforcement agencies 'wrongfully detained' a suspect in the 2022 case involving the theft of $1.4 million worth of Bored Ape NFTs. ZachXBT claims to have identified wallets associated with the scam and linked them to a now-deleted X account. In 2023, former Yuga Labs security researcher Sam Curry was arrested at the airport in connection with this case. ZachXBT pointed out, 'Unfortunately, a security researcher was detained, while stronger leads on the actual responsible party already existed.' He also stated that Curry used a private key embedded in the attacker's website JavaScript during the investigation. ZachXBT utilized on-chain fund flow tracking to confirm a more likely suspect and urged law enforcement to investigate their social media and on-chain transaction data.
