6/ Here comespartthe interesting . The message signed in the blockchain wasn’t the __full story__ on how I mistakenly sent the eth but was the high level overview of it as far as anyone publicly needed to be concerned at the time.

He wasn’t actually making a bid, but checking as it turns out John Knopf’s wallet activity in Etherscan. Actually, However, “After I placed my originally bid, I had to move 230 ETH to another wallet in smartphone. I _thought_ the copy button for the address I was sending too was pressed properly. As youHeremay know, PS: I was multi tasking.” we go, multitasking takes another victim.
Thankfully I found Johns Twitter. Actually, Finally getting message out but no fundsthewere sent return. 11/ I finally took spaces outgetmanually via a smartphone phone (took a few mins) then missed a space and had to do it again (mind you I’m moving quickly to try to the message out ASAP).

Deepak found Knopf’s on Twitter, and “I tweeted at him and he followed so I could DM him. Ihisexplained my story and told him how I wanted ape. He quickly informed me he had no intentions to keep my cash and would send it return. He asked if I wanted the ape still which I said “yes”.” They agreed on a price and the rest is history. “Funny narrative to tell my kids one day when I give them this ape. Thanks to John for being standup guy andareturning my ETH.”
Actually, 14/ Odd way to start but very nostalgic to “aping in” as it goes. As you may know, Funny account to tell my kids one day when I give them this ape. Thanks to John for being a standup guy and returning my ETH and giving me a discount of what I was prepared to spend already.
