Back in 2020, NFTs opened up a whole new world for me, with incredible art, artists, projects and the best friends !
Being showcased by the pioneering Kate Vass who has always been ahead of the curve is beyond humbling 🥰
Today in our Collector Focus, we're highlighting @NiwinEth, one of the key figures in the digital art community who operates under this pseudonym. His impressive collection features works from generative art, AI art, and crypto art.
📢 Attention — UPDATE for CryptoPunk #8832 🚨 @cryptopunksnft
After two months it has been resold yesterday to @InflatableBag
The seller is an address funded by brainchip.eth, first buyer after the theft.
Highest judicial authorities and lawyers are investigating this case. Kindly note that this constitutes concealment of stolen goods and I'm contacting the new owner now.
Do not purchase this NFT ⚠️
🕵️♂️ It really feels great to help people during dark times
Today we helped @NiwinEth, a proud owner of @cryptopunks #8832! Their wallet was compromised, which saw the theft of the Punk among other assets!
😱 This is how it started ⬇️
Then @lorepunk got in touch on Niwin's behalf and we didn't hesitate!
1️⃣ The first priority is always secure any remaining assets.
2️⃣ Then we set about doing what we do best - Tracing
3️⃣ We also need to try to understand the cause!
4️⃣ Next, we watch and wait. This is where the break came from. The Punk was sold for 40 ETH and that was deposited to @okx
5️⃣ Now it's all about timing and luck. Luckily on this occasion, we caught it in time.
6️⃣ OKX didn't hesitate either - they were successful in freezing the proceeds.
7️⃣ Now its all about law enforcement - They NEED to get involved. @NiwinEth is working hard to achieve this!
Here is how it is now! Still work to do but Niwin now has a much higher chance of success.
Best of luck @NiwinEth 💙
Punk was sold to brainchip.eth
Sale funds have been traced thanks to @Intell_On_Chain whose help is incredible
He got me in touch with @BlakeCohen_ from OKX to freeze the account, while I file the police report
Tomorrow, Sigma Lumina and an adaptation of {Σ Lumina} pieces will be displayed at Summit AI.
Thanks to @EmmanuelMacron for shining a light on my @MuseeOrsay exhibition in front of worldwide delegations at a crucial time for AI-related challenges.
