Accused Bitfinex Scammer’s Rap Album NFTs Disappear From OpenSea

The accused Bitfinex scammer Heather Morgan had its rap album cover NFT disappear from OpenSea and the buyer is not really happy about it so let’s find out more today in our cryptocurrency news.

The album artwork NFT featuring the now accused Bitfinex scammer Heather Morgan’s rap name Razzlekahan vanished from OpenSea. Morgan was accused of laundering billions from the 2016 Bitfinex hack and she even created NFTs of her album artwork but the owner of the artwork claims they have vanished from the NFT marketplace Opensea. Morgan and her husband were charged with conspiracy to launder crypto related to the 2016 Bitfinex hack as the DOJ announced were $3.6 billion worth of BTC linked to the attack was seized.

According to VICE News, the two NFTs created by Morgan and her rap alter ego Razzlekhan, are no longer visible on OpenSea and the buyer is not happy:

“The two token IDs of the NFTs she minted with the OpenSea contract were effectively gone. Just token IDs with no metadata or image. Without question, there is the cause of action for a tort. No way to determine the future value of something created by someone now infamous in this way.”

Bought 2 #NFTs minted by @HeatherReyhan rzk.eth #Bitfinex hacker on @opensea with the #OpenSeaNFT contract #OpenSea removed the metadata and image essentially making the NFT a worthless token id on the open sea shared storefront contract.

This could happen to anyone.

The buyer took aim at the marketplaces’ ability to delete an artist’s collection at a whim based on the person’s actions outside of anything to do with OpenSea which makes the NFT purchased, worthless. The two NFTs in question were album covers for Morgan’s rap videos as Razzlekhan like “social Distance” and “Versace Bedouin.” both of Moran and her husband’s Opensea profiles are no longer visible but the blockchain records show that the NFT in question is linked to Heather Morgan and the buyer under the name and addresses “Cancelopensea.eth. In the DOJ complaint, the pair were described as having engaged in a “diverse array” of virtual currency like the purchase of NFTs but there was no marketplace named in the document.

This is not teh first time that the platform removed NFTs, just like the one we saw in august where Pepe the Frog meem NFT was removed amid a copyright dispute. Morgan’s NFTs were minted on OpenSea and purchased the same day when she and her husband got arrested. The two NFTs were purchased for .10 ETH which is about $300 but the buyer’s OpenSae profile where the NFTs usually appear is now empty.

After the news broke about Morgan’s arrest, the NFT buyer said he was just looking thorugh the profile:

“At first was just curious on her ETH transactions…but then saw the two ‘album cover’ NFTs she had minted about a month ago. Figured it was a piece of crypto history. So I bought them.”
