Three days after announcing his resignation as CEO of the DeGods project, Rohun Vora, known as Frank, lost 16 NFTs valued at $19,000 due to a hack. This was reported by Decrypt.
According to a Discord chat, the perpetrator accessed his wallet on the Solana network through a compromised laptop.

Among the sold NFTs was a rare item featuring a “mythical helmet”—one of the most valuable attributes of the DeGods collection. Some in the community speculated that Vora began liquidating assets after his resignation, but he refuted these rumors.
“This is absurd. I have no plans to get rid of DeGods,” he stated in a comment to Decrypt.
To substantiate his claim, he published another Solana address where DEGOD tokens worth $50,000 are stored.
Vora emphasized that a more extensive scam could have been orchestrated from the hacked wallet, but the perpetrators limited themselves to selling a few NFTs.
He stated that he will enhance security measures and continue to support the project. Vora disclosed his address back in October 2024.
Management of DeGods has transitioned to anonymous team members Pasta and Chill.
In April, the head of the NFT platform Emblem Vault, Jake Gallen, reported losing over $100,000 in cryptocurrency due to perpetrators using Zoom.
