An #NFT trader from Texas has filed a lawsuit against trading platform OpenSea, saying the company was responsible when his #BoredApe image was stolen from his crypto wallet. The trader is asking for the return of his ape, and 1 million $US in damages.

The NFT trader Timothy McKimmy filed a suit last week in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, alleging that #OpenSea knew about vulnerabilities on its platform.

According to McKimmy's lawsuit, the NFT in question, Bored Ape #3475, has "significant value," despite the fact that it's still unclear what kind of "ownership" someone can claim over an image, simply because a receipt for it has been registered on a blockchain.
