Nevada Judge Miranda M. Du dismissed a
lawsuit filed against Yuga Labs, Bored App Yacht Club’s parent company, and major
NFT trading platforms OpenSea and LuxRare, that alleged the parties failed to
properly handle NFT theft.
Robert Armijo, who filed the lawsuit, was
the owner of three BAYC NFTs that he purchased in November 2021 and January
2022. Armijo said that on February 1, 2022, he attempted to trade one of his
NFTs on the messaging site Discord. Someone who purported to be interested in
the trade sent him a link to initiate the trade, which Armijo clicked on. The
link was a phishing link that gave the hacker access to Armijo’s Ether wallet. The
hacker then stole Armijo’s NFTs and began reselling them on OpenSea and
LuxRare.
When the lawsuit was filed last April,
Armijo’s attorneys claimed that OpenSea and LuxRare failed “to implement common
sense and reasonable security measures to prevent the foreseeable fraud and
sale of stolen” property, the original complaint read. The lawsuit names Yuga
Labs as a defendant for the company’s failure to “monitor its proprietary and
exclusive app community by denying access to individuals whose access is
predicated on the stolen BAYC NFTs.”
The Judge dismissed the lawsuit for all
defendants using arguments respective to each defendant.

Yuga Labs had argued that as far as they
were concerned, the case was moot because their company did not fall under
Nevada jurisdiction as the company is incorporated in Delaware and has no
employees in Nevada. Armijo’s attorneys tried to argue that because Yuga Labs
continually does business in Nevada, he could be prosecuted in the state, but
Judge Du disagreed.
