The “actual” Nameless?

Nameless is a decentralized collective of hackers internationally with no publicly identified central management. It’s, subsequently, all the time troublesome to establish the legitimacy of claims from teams claiming to be “The” Nameless. Nevertheless, the web page in query has been verified on Fb and has over a million followers. The web page has a pinned put up selling AnonToken, which is at present down 87% from its March 2022 all-time excessive, buying and selling at $0.03. In response to BSCscan, there are roughly 3,000 holders of the token with a market cap of $3.4 million.

There have been stories the challenge is just not related to the “actual” Nameless and is a rip-off token. Searches for the token on Twitter carry up solely small crypto accounts making an attempt the pump the token.

This isn’t an actual Nameless account. This appears like an account takeover that’s making an attempt to piggy again off present occasions to advertise their very own shitty money seize token. Wtf is Anontoken? https://t.co/GHuiSbz0Lf pic.twitter.com/tN7aUkacEh

Authors be aware: No entity has ever been in a position to verify the id of an Nameless account legitimately. It feels accountable to level out the likelihood that the account in query may very well be a pretend. This may very well be mentioned to be true of all Nameless accounts, however given the scale of the next and its historical past of posting Nameless content material, I really feel it’s value reporting. Time will inform if Nameless is actually concentrating on BAYC.
