The most arrogant sandwich attacker on Ethereum has been hunted down in reverse by 🦈Jaredfromsubway.eth—this name should be familiar to DeFi players.


They have long dominated Ethereum with 70% of sandwich attacks, performing 60,000 to 90k times per month, even sandwiching Vitalik's $2 worth of tokens.
But this week, they got caught slipping.
The attacker spent weeks deploying 66 fake token contracts and fake liquidity pools, mimicking WETH/USDC/USDT, specifically targeting this bot's decision logic with a "anti-MEV honeypot"—luring it into seemingly profitable trades that actually authorized a backdoor contract.
In the final transaction, $7.5 million was drained directly.
What is this called? The hunter became the hunted.
Ironically, this kind of "anti-MEV attack" is itself illegal, but the community cheered—after so long, someone finally got you.
Do you think MEV bots should be eliminated or accepted?
A. Eliminate—retail investors are systematically exploited
B. Accept—MEV is a natural game #ETH in blockchain economics
ETH0.50%
USDC0.02%
