Love Island Star Vanessa Sierra Hits Back At Scam Accusations By Issuing DMCAs

Another day, another rug. Recently, Only Fans model and NFT founder Vanessa Sierra has been accused of rugging her NFT project 'Smol Boyz Land'.

According to @NFTHerder, 18 ETH was sent to two wallets using a "multisig" after the project's mint. One of the wallets used funds to buy 28 SmolBoyz NFTs to then transfer them over six wallets. This is seen as a classic example of wash trading by the project's founders. Even that wasn't bad enough, co-founder @itsreagan.eth is accused of using the remaining 2.9 ETH to pump up the project's floor prices and create fake demand.

Further accusations suggest that from March to May, the remaining funds were slowly spread between the founders or cashed out. In contrast, in July, Sierra stated via the NFT project's Discord that "absolutely none of the funding has been taken by founders." She then stated that the funds were "still sitting in the public wallet address."

So, how did Vanessa Sierra respond to these accusations?

By DMCA reporting Twitter accounts.

The DMCA is a United States law that defines guidelines for online platforms in cases of copyright infringement. By submitting a DMCA report, Sierra locked a Twitter account relating the issue to Twitter policies.

So Sierra gets called out by @CryptoFinally, and responds by having the account locked. Having your critics silenced is not a great look.

But Twitter users cannot be silenced! Accounts on Twitter continue to report that Sierra scammed the investors of her NFT project.

The community calls for transparency of NFT projects and their founders in order to protect the reputation of the crypto industry. Nonetheless, Vanessa Sierra DMCA reports show she is not going to let anyone accuse her in any way.

Infinite Drive Boasts The First Raceable Aston Martin NFT Cars

Driving an Aston Martin has always been my dream, and now finally it can become a reality!

Motorsport gaming developers ‘The Tiny Digital Factory’ have collaborated with iconic luxury car brand Aston Martin to release NFTs on Infinite Drive, the next-gen racing metaverse.

So yes, I will be driving an Aston Martin. However, it will be digital. But potato potah-toe.

In this first wave of the Aston Martin series there are 3000 pieces, with three different models. The new Vantage V8 Coupe, the Vantage GT3 Racing Model, and the 1980’s James Bond “The Living Daylights” special 1980 Vantage V8.

Also, each NFT is perfectly reflective of the real Aston Martin cars. This means that the cars represent the exact look, feel, and sound of each car in real life.

Do you think they come with the same street cred?

This is also Aston Martin’s first-ever venture into the metaverse. The stellar, historic motor brand allows collectors to dive right into the Infinite Drive metaverse. Now, we can race and drive Aston Martin NFT cars in the early alpha build of the game.

The Aston Martin NFTs go live on the Magic Eden NFT marketplace on 18th December for presale, and 19th December for public sale.

BRB, about to flex in my family Christmas newsletter about owning a mansion and an Aston Martin. I'll conveniently leave out the fact that they are NFTs.
