    Remember when Seth Green said he had a whole TV show ready to go based on his his Bored Ape and then someone stole it? He paid $300,000 to get it back and ever since… no TV show. I’m wondering if he’s just embarrassed at this point.

      buy stupid NFT

      pitch TV show about said NFT

      get investors to pay for it

      take out insurance on NFT and TV show

      never bother to make TV show

      just collect salary as passive income

      “leak” private key a few days before “release”

      collect insurance to repay investors

      profit
