Steven Galanis, CEO of the celebrity voicemail service Cameo, has been humiliated. Galanis reported his Apple ID had been backed on Saturday, leading to several valuable blockchain-based assets being stolen.
One hundred people purchased the Bored Ape number 9012, which Variety reports sold for around $320,000 to Galanis in January. The thief sold a total of 9012 euros in Ethereum, a whopping 130,000 dollars. That’s less than half of what Galanis has paid for it, which we can see as a mistake in the crash.

In addition to the Bored Ape NFT, Galanis lost over 9,000 dollars in money-added, besides the Bored Apes cryptocurrency, with a total value of $69,000 as of today. Two NFTs were stolen, including three Other Side metaverse plots, one Phanta Bear and two 11 Captains Club tokens.
Galanis asked OpenSea to lock his accounts and freeze the stolen NFTs from trading, which the platform did on Monday. Because all transactions are recorded on the blockchain, a thief is relatively simple to trace. However, getting the hacker to a real-life person is much harder.
This isn’t the first time that a celebrity has been forcefully dissidented from their Bored Ape. Spider’s Seth Green stole his bud at the end of May a phishing scam. He had to shell out $300,000 to get back to Green because without it Green wouldn’t have the star for his next sitcom, based in a world where NFTs are actually alive.
This isn’t the first time that Bored Apes is based on crypto controversy. The Bored Ape Discord server was hit by a phishing scam earlier this year when over six million apes were stolen.
