On Monday , hacktivist group Anonymous released a video making multiple allegations against blockchain technology firm Yuga Labs and its NFT social club Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC).
In a statement, the group made some allegations related to Yuga Lab's alleged use of esoteric symbolism in the art of BAYC. In the eyes of Anonymous, this would show that the company supports numerous controversial issues such as Nazism, racism, simianization and pedophilia.
The hacktivist group claims that after thorough research and interviews with key figures, they can confirm "without a shadow of a doubt" that the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Yuga Labs are deliberately bringing in these esoteric symbols. The company and the project have denied these allegations.
The group warned against dismissing these allegations as baseless "conspiracy theory". People who do this are "just plain ignorant" or "uninformed or, at worst, in a financial conflict of interest." A representative of the Internet hacktivist group said:
"Anonymous is certain that the BAYC collection and Yuga Labs brand are infected with not just one or two, but dozens of esoteric symbols reflecting support for Nazism, racism, simianization and pedophilia."
Anonymous indicated that the owners of these artworks were also victims of trolling by Bored Ape Yacht Club and Yuga Labs. The group urged owners not to remain silent just to protect their financial interests:
"Don't your founders owe you more than that? Many outside of the BAYC community continue to talk about you being betrayed in an unprecedented and unforgivable manner."
The group called on investors, partners and prominent figures such as Andreessen Horowitz, Mark Cuban, Dez Bryant, Tom Brady, Ben Simmons, Neymar Junior, Kevin Hart, Drake Bell and Shaquille O'Neal, as well as major brands such as Lion Tree, Adidas and Tiffany & Co to speak up and to take an official position on Nazism, racism, simianization and pedophilia.
On June 24, Yuga Labs co-founder Greg Solano denied such allegations against his company in a Medium post:
"We have become a target for a crazy disinformation campaign accusing us, a group of Jewish, Turkish, Pakistani and Cuban friends, of being secret Nazis."
At the time, Solano emphatically stated that the accusations of racism against his team, which has a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds, were completely unfounded.
