👀Thieves eating thieves? Just stole $500k USDC… MEV bot snatched $320k of it for only $0.03! A #Base user got phished and lost ~$500k USDC. The attacker immediately tried to swap the loot into WETH — but forgot to set any slippage protection. The trade got routed straight into a low-liquidity #Uniswap V4 WETH/USDC pool (PoolId:0x1d8c55f347727c0fb4f5e1b65cdb93639e0c7102580a7d345e1144cd5a718f54). Result: $500k USDC → only 67.9 WETH (~$129k). ~$370k vanished to extreme slippage… and an MEV bot scooped most of it (~$320k). 😂The wild part? The bot only needed $0.03 in capital for the arb, but paid a juicy 3.5 ETH in gas. The victim already sent on-chain messages to both the attacker and the MEV address, offering a 10% bounty for the return of the funds.
