NFTs, one of the new trends of the crypto money world, were shaken by a major theft. In OpenSea, one of the most popular markets in the industry, $2.2 million worth of NFT theft was carried out. While it is not known exactly how the NFTs were stolen, OpenSea’s stopping of trading met with the reaction of users. Because with this event, both centralism and security issues were opened for discussion.
One of the most popular collections in the NFT world was “Bored Ape”. The collection depicting the facial expressions of a series of monkeys was created by BoredApeYachtClub. Here, exactly 15 NFTs in this collection have somehow fallen into the hands of others. While it is unknown whether the NFTs will be repurchased, what awaits the NFT world, OpenSea and its investors is a complete mystery at the moment.
No statement from OpenSea yet

The incident turned the eyes of the investors to OpenSea. However, the company did not make any statement on the subject. This raises the question marks in the minds of investors. Because the NFT world has not experienced theft for a long time. It seems that OpenSea’s failure to manage this process well may cause the platform to lose its place in the market.
By the way; Todd Kramer, owner of NFTs, has taken a strange stance on the subject. So much so that Kramer, who shared for the first time on December 29, 2021, claimed that his NFTs were stolen. However, Kramer, who deleted the tweet within a few hours, once again brought up the same claim on December 30. The interesting thing is that the second post was also strangely deleted. No one can understand why such a thing is done. . .
