Actor and comedian Bill Murray, star of works such as Ghost Hunters, US$185k (approximately R$950k) stolen in Ethereum on last Thursday (1st) Charity auction raising 119.2 ETHThe artist’s personal wallet was occupied and began to be emptied shortly after the event ended.
At the event itself, Murray sold NFTs (non-comparable tokens). The collection was created in partnership with The Shack and Coinbase, and as the actor tells their stories, the proceeds from the sales were expected to be passed on to Chive Charities.
The theft in question was relatively mitigated by a security team. Consulting firm NFT Project Venkman, CoinDesk, moved high-priced NFTs to another secret wallet. Hackers reportedly attempted to steal around 800 NFTs from Murray’s collection in his wallet.
Money “returned”
A representative from the consultancy reported that the attacker actually managed to steal the 119.2 ETH that was revealed in the auction and has not yet been identified. The funds would be transferred to a wallet linked to Binance and Unionchain.ai.
However, one of the auction participants on Coinbase under the username Mishap72, sent 120 ETH (approximately $187,000) to Chive Charities to cover the stolen amount to be donated.
Murray’s team produced a police report on the case and said they were working with Chainalysis to try to identify the perpetrator of the attack.
