Very stupid. They "exploited" MEV sandwich bots by replacing the trader transaction with their own "malicious" one. If that is illegal, so should sandwich MEV in the first place

12 seconds!

WOW!

So easy.

Hidden BBC message?

Crime doesn't pay, even if your a clever bastard and can steal $25 million in 12 seconds.
