Nicole received 250 NFTs from the project creator which she then proceed to rapidly sell off on the secondary market, tanking the market value and earning her approximately 20 ETH.

Nicole had just days prior been included in the NFTNow 2023 NFT100 list of influential people in web3. NFTNow proceeded to redact her from the list after her conduct emerged.
