    Why Did Another NFT Whale Just Lose 30 Moonbirds?

    By Ross WardropMay 25, 2022Updated:September 20, 20222 Mins Read

    It has been discovered on Twitter that another NFT whale has been scammed, this time, for around 30 Moonbirds. These NFTs are to the value of around 750 ETH, or nearly $1.5 million. This scam has been seen to be another bad link or trade gone bad situation.

    30 Moonbirds
    Moonbirds are one of the most prominent NFT collections currently.

    How did 30 MoonBirds Get Stolen?

    Twitter user, @jonzzyTV reported that an NFT whale had been scammed out of 50+ Moonbirds, which later turned out to be around 30. The value of this scam: an estimated 750 ETH or $1.5 million.

    Another Twitter user, @mouthwash_eth explained what happened in detail, from what they know/think: “It was 29/30 birds taken. It was a bad actor that had previously spent time making acquaintances over the weeks, offered to trade “Link” birds, and insisted on using a website that I won’t disclose here. In 1 transaction the scammer managed to un-nest and transfer 29 MBs. Shame!”

    We don’t know who was scammed, as it has not been confirmed. Also, other details like the website that was used to make a trade are unconfirmed. Fortunately, we have recently heard of the news that OpenSea is creating a protocol that allows people to trade NFTs for others. This may thankfully solve some issues due to OpenSea being a big and trusted platform, however, you can’t bet on it, and always must be careful with any links you click.

    The Response

    People on Twitter, as usual, were rightfully outraged. Particularly in a hack of this scale, where 30 Moonbirds were stolen, this is expected. “OMG”, “this hurts” and “I have no words” were seen in the comment section.

    Now, a message has been posted on the LooksRare marketplace. It reads: “Notice: Please return the stolen moonbirds to the original owner. Keep 1 for compensation. If MBs are not returned by 5/25 @ 12p UTC, the police and FBI will be notified formally.”

    Clearly, this case is being taken seriously by the Moonbirds community, and the victim.
