The story of Jungle Bay Ape Club

This collection will one day go down in history as one of the biggest turn of events for a Community that got rugged.

1.5 months ago. A collection named LBAC appeared and was minted and traded on Opensea. The project instantly sold like crazy, reaching top 6 with over 4,000 ETH traded in one week with 3,000 holders; LBAC rocketed. Suddenly, the “allegedly” creator pulled the rug and disappeared.

The “allegedly” creator launched another similar collection under the same name with new art and new traits. Causing a lot of commotion and scam talk on Twitter, most OG holders deciding to stick their ground and not switch over to the new (so-called original) collection.

OG LBAC holders found too many red flags and “evidences” that did not add up for the new collection. After a long rollercoaster of drama and disputes, the OG collection with 4K+ volume was delisted from Opensea with no given explanation or reasoning. Left with nothing.

Deciding to move on, the community came together to come up with a new collection that would reward and give back to the OG holders of LBAC. And so @JungleBayAC was born. Any holder of OG LBAC would get a FREE mint from JBAC. Not only that, THERES MORE

DAO owned fully Decentralized #NFT Marketplace is in the works:

Members of the community came together to raise money for the community wallet, and will have the rewards of @junglebayio distributed to OG holders with a JB Gold Card (aka Tier 1 investors)
