BAYC Founder Responds to Controversial Claims

Earlier today, the founders of the BAYC network responded to some controversy around a documentary that accused them of promoting NAZI images. Wylie Aronow, the Yuga Labs Co-founder, mentioned that due to the increasing influence of BAYC, the company became a target for disinformation campaigns. His tweet reads, 

“As you may have heard, we’ve become the target of a crazy disinformation campaign accusing us – a group of Jewish, Turkish, Pakistani, and Cuban friends – of being super-secret Nazis.”

In another tweet,

“Aronow said Even though the @ADL, which exists to protect Jewish people around the world from just this sort of hatred and slander, has confirmed this isn’t true, trolls are still spreading ridiculous conspiracy theories online and using them to sell knockoff NFTs (surprise!).”

Other Yuga Labs founders also claim that the criticism is “far-fetched.” Some crypto community members also came out to defend that BAYC network, with one Twitter member 260.eth saying, “I’m Jewish have met the founders IRL they are chill as fuck – u can tell these attacks are hurtful to them. It’s sickening how people will spread such harmful lies just to sell fake NFTs.”
