The “actual” Nameless?
Nameless is a decentralized collective of hackers internationally with no publicly recognized central management. It’s, due to this fact, at all times tough to determine the legitimacy of claims from teams claiming to be “The” Nameless. Nonetheless, the web page in query has been verified on Fb and has over a million followers. The web page has a pinned submit selling AnonToken, which is at the moment down 87% from its March 2022 all-time excessive, buying and selling at $0.03. Based on BSCscan, there are roughly 3,000 holders of the token with a market cap of $3.4 million.
There have been reviews the undertaking isn’t related to the “actual” Nameless and is a rip-off token. Searches for the token on Twitter carry up solely small crypto accounts trying the pump the token.
This isn’t an actual Nameless account. This seems to be 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 affirm the identification of an Nameless account legitimately. It feels accountable to level out the chance that the account in query might be a faux. This might be stated to be true of all Nameless accounts, however given the dimensions 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 focusing on BAYC.
