The story was first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/business\/2022\/09\/02\/hacker-steals-bill-murrays-crypto-after-185k-nft-charity-auction\/\">reported<\/a> by Coindesk and author Eli Tan notes that <a href=\"https:\/\/etherscan.io\/address\/0xabfec94be2d181f340c30bc70ee164eac9935529\">onchain data<\/a> and \u201cdetails from Murray\u2019s team\u201d explain his wallet was drained at around 7:00 p.m. (ET) on Thursday evening. Data from dappradar.com\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/dappradar.com\/hub\/wallet\/eth\/0xabfec94be2d181f340c30bc70ee164eac9935529\">portfolio tool<\/a> indicates that Murray\u2019s wallet has roughly $556 in tokens and NFTs still held in the wallet at 7:00 p.m. (ET) on September 2.<\/p>\n<p>A large portion of Murray\u2019s portfolio has been removed from the hacked wallet, according to the report. Onchain data shows Murray\u2019s security team removed blockchain assets such as The Flower Girls NFTs, Boss Beauties, Hashmasks, Adam Bomb Squad, Deadfellaz, Gutter Cat Gang, Cryptopunks, Veefriends, Cool Cats, Damien Hirst NFTs, Pudgy Penguins, and Cryptotoads.<\/p>\n<p>Murray\u2019s charity sold a 1\/1 NFT from the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/nft.coinbase.com\/collection\/BillMurray\">Bill Murray 1000<\/a>\u201d NFT collection hosted on the Coinbase NFT marketplace. Murray\u2019s team believes the stolen funds were sent to an exchange and the thief is currently unknown. The funds from the NFT auction were meant to be donated to a non-profit called <a href=\"https:\/\/chivecharities.org\/\">Chive Charities<\/a>. Tan\u2019s report further explained that a Coinbase NFT marketplace spokesperson disclosed the runner-up in the NFT auction donated 120 ether to Chive Charities to replace the siphoned funds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<p>The report published on Friday does not disclose how the hacker managed to siphon the 119.2 ether from Murray\u2019s ethereum wallet. Murray\u2019s team told Tan that it filed a report with law enforcement, and also noted that it was working with the blockchain intelligence firm Chainalysis. Bill Murray is not the only high-profile celebrity that has been attacked by crypto hackers this year. Family Guy star Seth Green had his Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT stolen and reportedly paid to get the NFT back.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What do you think about Bill Murray getting 119 ether stolen from his wallet?
