A self-described cryptocurrency enthusiast told ESPN that he is part of a group that orchestrated recent sex toy stunts that have disrupted at least three WNBA games in the past 10 days.

The man, who spoke on the condition of anonymity over videoconference Wednesday, said the stunts were meant to market a crypto coin that his online community created. The WNBA and all its "controversy," he said, made the league a logical target.

"It was more or less like an opportunistic approach to, you know, what is already trending," he said. "Where is there already controversy and how do we intercept some of that attention?"
