Halloween may be over, but ghoulish grails are always in season around the swamp!


On Friday, longtime Bored Ape Yacht Club member and Hello Labs co-founder Sander Gortjes purchased one of the cleanest looking Zombie Apes in the entire collection from fellow BAYC member MachiBigBrother for 15 Eth, or roughly $33,400 USD, and decided to make it his first ever Ape profile picture!

 


“After a failed deal yesterday, I was able to close a deal with the legend

@machibigbrother on the Zombie 4T,” Gortjes tweeted. “ And for the first time, since I started holding apes in mid-2021, I decided to PFP one. So  @mfigge sees an ape when we chat instead of my face. Welcome  @BoredApeYC , Welcome BAYC 5207. CC  @AdamWeitsman.”

 

 


Bored Ape #5207 is one of just six four trait Apes around the swamp, according to OpenSea.

As the Gazette previously reported, Gortjes has been a staple around the swamp and the broader NFT space for years, working on major media projects like Killer Whales, a crypto themed Shark Tank style show that has featured several Ape related businesses!

 

 


The Gazette will continue to follow Gortjes and will let you know what he does around the swamp next. Stay tuned for updates!
