Yuga Labs is taking legal action against the group that claims BAYC founders have Nazi links.
June 25, 2022
The founders of Bored Ape Yacht Club wrote in a medium post this week that they have become targets of a crazy disinformation campaign.
After pushing back at the disinformation campaign, Yuga Labs has officially taken a legal action against the responsible parties.
In order to put a stop to the continuous infringement,, we have filed a lawsuit against the responsible parties,” Yuga Labs tweeted.
Earlier this week, an hour-long YouTube video on Philion’s channel laid out a list of claims about the BYAC founders' supposed links to Nazism.
US-based artist Ryder Ripps also claimed that he has been “investigating extensive connections between BAYC and subversive internet nazi troll culture.”
Yuga Labs said that these rumors have been able to proliferate because of “trolls on the internet” and their power.
Yuga Labs did not mention any names against whom they have filed the lawsuit.
