Ya think?

Have you also heard about the Ransomware operators hiding in the noise, using the #NFT community to launder money?

[NFT Ethics @NFTethics]

Many scam projects have the same mod teams active on all their Discords. They are part of the team and in most cases (e.g. HypeBears) received free mints. It's interesting to see that they generally all immediately flipped these on OS: that's how much they believe in the project.

[17 years of song a day @songadaymann]

I've been listening to an interview with Rory Felton of HitPiece (h/t @kevinduquette).

Let's do a thread.

In this first clip, he describes what HitPiece is. It's exactly what it looked like, which is horrifying.

Musicians discovered that HitPiece, an NFT marketplace, was selling their songs as NFTs without their permission.

The website previously listed songs by well-known artists, including Disney music, K-pop sensation BTS, and Britney Spears, as NFTs.

Yes! The danger must be growing,
cause the scammers keep on going,
there's no earthly way of knowing
which way #NFTs are flowing.

And they're certainly not showing
any signs that they are slowing.

@montemagno @opensea @opensea_support Fix the scams?

They aren't going to fix the scams, they're the ones enabling the scams.

80%+ is fraud, according to OpenSea themselves.
