On April 7, 2023, Dez's account got hacked, and the attacker took more than just the Ape NFT.

Along with the Bored Ape, the thief stole Moonbirds, World of Women, and RumbleKong League NFTs (one each) and some various cryptocurrencies.

If resold, the Bored Ape can fetch somewhere around $125,000. With $8,700 worth of other NFTs and $3,400 worth of stolen tokens, the total loss is $139,000.

The theft came to light when some observers noticed a shady-looking transaction involving Bored Ape #2902.
