A government agency poised to tax digital assets had a real change of heart yesterday – at least for awhile.
For the second time in a week, a government agency went off mission on Twitter, this time with the Revenue Department suddenly promoting NFTs, which it says was the work of hackers.
“I’m looking to collaborate with NFT projects,” the @RevenueDept’s pinned tweet read for awhile in English. “DM if you’re interested in a paid promotion!”
Until some time this morning, the account had been renamed “Revenue | NFT” and its profile picture changed to a cartoon monkey derived from a series of NFT images called Bored Ape Yacht Club. Rather than a platform for mundane tax matters, the account was rebranded as an “NFT Promoter and Enthusiast” in its bio.
