Who are they?

Buzzfeed doxxed the identity of BAYC founders, and they are Greg Solano, a 32-year-old writer, and editor, and Wylie Aronow, a 35-year-old originally from Florida.

BAYC, Bored Apes Yacht Club, is one of the most successful NFT collections. Even Justin Bieber owns a BAYC.

The guys that have been named in the article have come forward on Twitter.

Why did BuzzFeed doxxed these guys? In the article, it says,

How do you hold them accountable if you don’t know who they are?

BAYC isn't a fly-by-night NFT collection. It has become mainstream with its collaboration with Adidas and other brands.

Success comes at a price, and it's their privacy to these guys.
