  • Timothy McKimmy soovib oma Bored Ape NFT tagasi ja/või rohkem kui 1 miljoni dollari suurust kahjutasu.
  • Tema hagi võib olla esimene, mis puudutab ärakasutamist, mis hõlmab OpenSea mitteaktiivseid kirjeid.

Texase mees, kes müüs tahtmatult maha oma igavleva ahvi NFT for 0.01 ETH—the equivalent of around $26—is suing OpenSea, alleging the platform knew vea kohta that allowed hackers to buy NFTs for far below market price.

In kaebus filed in Texas federal court, Timothy McKimmy claims he is the rightful owner of Bored Ape #3475—one of a set of 10,000 highly coveted primate NFTs known as the Igav Ape jahtklubi. He claims that he did not list his Bored Ape for sale and that the NFT was “stolen”—and that the “buyer” promptly resold it for 99 ETH ($250,000 at today’s prices).

McKimmy sõnul on kõnealune ahv harulduse poolest ülemises 14. protsentiilis ja on oluliselt haruldasem kui Bored Ape NFT, mille Justin Bieber ostis hiljuti 1.3 miljoni dollari eest. Ta taotleb "igav ahvi tagastamist [..] ja/või kahjutasu üle 1 miljoni dollari".

McKimmy—whose LinkedIn profiil lists him as the CEO of a Texas iron ore firm—claims that OpenSea knew about the bug, which was widely reported in the media, but refused to halt trading in the interest of profits.

„Selle asemel, et nende turvaprobleemide lahendamiseks oma platvormi sulgeda, jätkas kostja tegevust. Kostja riskis oma kasutajate NFT-de ja digitaalsete varahoidlate turvalisusega, et jätkata katkematult 2.5% kõigist tehingutest kogumist,” väidetakse kaebuses OpenSea süüdistamises hooletuses ja lepingurikkumises.

McKimmy väidab lisaks, et ta on korduvalt proovinud OpenSeaga probleemi lahendada. Tema sõnul ütles ettevõte talle, et "uurib juhtumit aktiivselt", kuid pole suutnud midagi enamat teha.

He is far from the only one in this situation. In January, OpenSea issued roughly $1.8 million in refunds to users affected by the exploit, though it remains unclear how exactly the company is handling reimbursements and determining refund amounts. McKimmy’s complaint cites chatter in NFT forums that alleges OpenSea has been approaching other victims of the bug and offering them the “floor price” (the lowest priced asset in any given NFT collection), even if their particular NFT is worth more—and only so long as they sign a non-disclosure agreement.

OpenSea ei vastanud kohe McKimmy väidete kommenteerimistaotlusele.

The lawsuit, which was filed on Friday, could be followed by others. A law firm in the northeast is soliciting complaints from other OpenSea customers who lost NFTs due to the bug with the goal of filing a class-action complaint.

McKimmy aga väidab, et üks kohtuasja eesmärk on sundida OpenSea oma turvatavasid karmistama.

„Hageja esitab selle hagi, et kaitsta NFT omanike huve, kes elavad erinevates riikides ja kasutavad kostja platvormi. Hageja esitab selle hagi, et sundida kostjat rakendama piisavaid turvameetmeid ja tegelema oma liideses teadaolevate vastuvõtlikkusega,” seisab kaebuses.

The lawsuit comes during a rough stretch for OpenSea, the world’s largest NFT platform. Prior to the discovery of the bug that allowed people to buy valuable NFTs for as low as 0.01 ETH, a senior executive resigned in the wake of siseringitehingute allegations. Meanwhile, a new controversy emerged this weekend related to a phishing campaign that has seen OpenSea customers fleeced of their NFTs—a situation the company says does not arise from a vulnerability in the platform.
