Stolen CryptoPunk #3706 is rescued by community and returned to CryptoNovo
nftjedi
At the 2022 NFT.NYC, we had the chance to hear CryptoNovo, a school teacher whose life was changed by buying a CryptoPunk, which he turned into his identity or persona. IRL, he wore a costume identical to the CryptoPunk #3706 he purchased.
Unfortunately, last week, CrypoNovo had his CryptoPunk stolen and was completely devastated. He sought counseling at the hospital. Just imagine your entire identity was stolen.
Luckily, this incident has a happy ending. Members of the CryptoPunks community banded together to raise funds to buy back the stolen NFT.
Such happy endings don’t always happen with stolen NFTs, which remain a huge problem for Web3. But it’s great to hear when they do.
As my mental-health has been crushed I went to the hospital for professional help. Please take care of yourself as this is the best approach for me at this time. Much love my 👽🦧🧟♂️
Thank You @CryptoNovo311 you showed us, there are no limit's in this space. We are so happy to see u finally have your Punk #3706 back. Now take the time to recover, and get back as strong as never before we will not go anywhere. Much Love D 👽🐵🧟♂️❤️🥳
