A major NFT collector lost 100 ETH in a fun bet on his registered Ethereum Name Service (ENS).
A user under the pseudonym Franklinisbored who owns 57 collectible coins BAICregistered an ENS domain stop fake-offering.eth via an alternative wallet. He then staked 100 ETH (~$148,900) from his main address.
According to him, it was meant as a joke. He wanted to have fun on the ENS Offers Twitter bot by having him write about a big space offer.
What phrase or meme do you want the Ens bot to tweet as a .eth address with an offer of 100 WETH? Lol, I would have to print the ENS address myself as well.

The collector then sold the domain to an anonymous user for 1.9 ETH (~$2830), tweeting, calling it “the most amazing win ever”.

However, he forgot to cancel his own offer of 100 ETH, which the new owner accepted 15 minutes after the sale.
“Oh no, I lost 100 ETH. I celebrated the sell joke, I mentioned the profit but forgot to cancel the buy bet out of greed. It will be the joke and failure of the century. I deserve all the jokes and criticism,” Franklinisbored wrote.
Oh no, I lost 100 ETH. I was celebrating my domain sale joke by sharing the spoils, but in my greedy dream I forgot to cancel my own 100 ETH offer to buy back. This will be the joke and bag of the century. I deserve all the jokes and criticism.

The field was returned to the collector. At the time of writing, the best bid for it is 0.125 ETH (~$186). Franklin was bored with the answer send back 1.9 ETH to the buyer/seller.
Recall that the owner of the ENS domain amazon.eth ignored the 1 million USDC offer and it expired.
