Buzzfeed talked to an intellectual property attorney about the situation and it’s not looking great for Seth.

According to that legal expert, the current owner and holder of the ape known as Fred could cause a lot of trouble for the actor because they now own the commercial usage rights for the artwork attached to that NFT. Some of this is of course speculation, as NFTs are still relatively new and the courts, like many others out there, are still trying to understand just what they are and how they work. But it is true that a lot of NFT projects are granting owners the rights to commercially adapt and profit from the art they currently own. Bored Ape Yacht Club, where Seth Green bought Fred from, was one of the first large-scale NFT projects to enact such rights usages to owners.

So, it seems that if Green wants to keep making his NFT TV show, he’ll need to regain ownership and control of his stolen NFTs, especially his main star, Fred. And Green appears to know this as he has spent the last few weeks since the scam happened tweeting to the ape’s current owner, DarkWing84. It’s not known yet if the user knew the ape was stolen.

NFT marketplace OpenSea has flagged the NFTs with suspicious activity warnings, which is odd considering the whole idea behind NFTs was to not rely on centralized groups or organizations to control the economy. But rich people don’t like getting scammed and NFT companies need to keep those whales happy if this scam is to survive another month or two. So…now if you try to buy the stolen NFTs, you’ll see a warning message.

As for Green, he’s not giving up on Fred. During the previously mentioned interview, which was watched by other NFT lovers and fans, the actor stressed he was going to work hard to save Fred from his current kidnappers.

“Guys, if there’s a door to kick in, I promise I’m gonna kick in the door for us.” Better hurry Green, the door, house, and entire city that makes up the NFT marketplace is probably a few months away from just collapsing into cyber dust and tears.

Which is a shame. I’ll miss all the idiots getting scammed over and over and over again.
