The Seth Green Stolen Bored Ape meme refers to the real-life saga where actor Seth Green lost his Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT #8311 to a phishing scam in early 2022. The situation became internet legend because Green was in the middle of developing a television show, 'White Horse Tavern,' starring the specific character he no longer legally 'owned' under decentralized standards. The internet reacted with a mix of sympathy and schadenfreude, using the event to highlight the bizarre legal and social complexities of the NFT world. The meme typically pokes fun at the fragility of digital ownership, the high stakes of crypto security, or the irony of losing a multimillion-dollar digital asset.
