Gopalani called the assailant a clever phisher and said that he was selling his Clone X NFTs. In a tweet directed at the Clone X community, he said:

The probable phisher may have utilized two wallets, according to OpenSea activity, to empty Gopalani’s wallet of NFTs, including double-digit sums of CloneX, RTFKT, Loot Pods, and Crypto Kicks NFTs, which are valued at more than $170,000 at floor pricing. After many withdrawals, the wallet currently displays a total asset value of $0.11 on Etherscan.

Gopalani may have given access codes to some scammers, according to a tweet by RTFKT Chief Technology Officer Samuel Cardillo, even though the phishing technique has not yet been made public. In his response to the loss, he cited legal constraints and said that the brand won’t be able to go into further specifics until further notice.

RTFKT is a virtual sneakers company owned by Nike. In early December, the company announced the release of the first Web3 physical sneaker, “Cryptokicks iRL.” The Web3 design studio is going as strong as any other project in the metaverse, collaborating with luxury houses and world-famous artists while fleshing out its collectible NFT universe and making money.
