Annoyed Ape investor loses 100ETH after a prank gone wrong
The last 24 hours have been a rollercoaster for Franklin, the 7th largest Bored Ape investor, who accidentally lost 100 ETH. Ironically, the domain name is “Stop-Doing-Fake-Bids-Its-Honestly-Lum-My-Guy.Eth” – and it may become the meme of the season.
How Bored Ape Investor Lose 100 ETH?
The Twitter NFT community can’t stop buzzing about Franklin, one of the most prolific Bored Ape investors — and for good reason.
Earlier this week, Franklin created an ENS domain as a joke against the fake bidding trend. The domain name is “stop-doing-fake-bids-its-honestly-name-my-guy.eth”.
When the domain appeared on OpenSea, Franklin bid 100 ETH using another digital wallet. Of course, that price was also part of his joke.
Moving on, another collector placed a 1.891 WETH on the domain name. Franklin immediately accepted the offer. “Well that’s the most amazing 1.891 ETH I’ve ever made,” he proudly wrote on Twitter.
However, Franklin’s fake 100 ETH bid was still active. Apparently, the new domain owner has already taken it over. To clarify, someone bought the ENS domain from Franklin for 1.891 ETH and sold it back to him for 100 ETH… all as a joke.
How did Franklin respond to his own mistakes?
Franklin realized what he had done in less than an hour. The Bored Ape Investor I shared the story with his Twitter community.
“I was not bot,” Franklin went on to explain. “I had plenty of time to rescind my offer, instead I rushed to Twitter. Also, I sent 1.9 WETH back to the person who bought/reversed it.”
The collector who gained about 100 ETH from Franklin’s mistake has the Twitter username @8892os. Accordingly, the trader is already buying multiple NFTs using the profits.
For example, they spent 1.59 ETH on Sandbox’s “The Theft of Mount Gox” NFT. Also, the collector bought a “Steel PEPE” NFT for 1.45 ETH Judging by this shopping spree, Franklin can’t recover 100 ETH anytime soon.
How has the NFT community responded?
In short, the Twitter NFT community exploded after Franklin shared his story.
“You’re either a Twitter Performance Genius or this is the top NFT Twitter,” writes crypto podcast host Coby. Meanwhile, other users began creating memes based on Franklin’s unfortunate experience.
In fact, the bored ape investor himself knew what was coming. “Yes, that was a childish mistake, and I already knew the jokes were going before I hit send,” he wrote in a tweet.
