An onchain message sent on mainnet details the recovery attempt of a stolen NFT following a September 25 exploit. The sender claims that Sotheby's Gen Art #477 was taken from their wallet via the Limit Break Payment Processor exploit and subsequently sold to the current holder through a Blur bid. The original owner is offering to repurchase the asset for 0.64 ETH—the amount the current holder paid—via either OpenSea or Blur, and has requested direct contact via X at @bakiphotography.
The message illustrates a common challenge in NFT markets when compromised assets change hands between unsuspecting buyers. The transaction hash provided (0x54bd37ca945aad1fb18aead696a3e65188a4a148070115ff0ac755ec4c464fcf) purports to document the original theft, while the onchain communication itself was sent to the current holder's wallet.
It remains unclear whether the current holder will engage with the recovery offer, or whether blockchain forensics and community tracking have identified additional stolen assets from the same exploit. The effectiveness of voluntary restitution mechanisms in these scenarios has not been established.
