Talking to DL News, Cuban said he used MetaMask for the first time in months and felt someone was watching. He thinks he used a bad version of MetaMask, hinting at a scam. He also mentioned a Coinbase transfer he did to keep his other money safe. Only one of his MetaMask accounts was affected.
In the past, Cuban was not a fan of crypto. He once joked he preferred a banana over Bitcoin. But now, he speaks highly of BTC, ETH, and NFTs and has a big collection.
