Hacker Steals $171,000 in Crypto That Comedian Bill Murray Raised for Charity | CoinMarketCap

But person who narrowly missed out on winning the one-of-a-kind Bill Murray NFT has reportedly donated 120 ETH anyway 😇

A hacker has stolen 110 Wrapped Ethereum that was raised for charity by actor and comedian Bill Murray.
