  1. tldr; FreeLunchCapital, founder of Floor Protocol, purchased a golden Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT for $1.43 million (588 ETH) from FTX’s vault. The NFT, BAYC #7940, is noted for its golden skin. The purchase was partly motivated by a personal vendetta against FTX, as FreeLunchCapital had lost $20 million in assets with the company. This transaction highlights a potential resurgence in the NFT market, reminiscent of the 2021-2022 bull cycle, and coincides with FTX’s legal clearance to repay $16.5 billion to customers.

    If you genuinely think this is money laundering you are stupid, actually, full on, properly, stupid.

  3. Ah the legal scam is here again. Rich people moving their money. That’s all there is to these nft crap.

  4. BAYC fumbled hard by staying on Ethereum. It’s a downhill trend ever since the land sale debacle

    At this point all of us know or at least suspect why. [spoiler](/s “Money Laundering”)

  6. I don’t even comprehend how can they have this much of COURAGE to transfer such a huge amount on a crypto wallet.
