Why It Happened
Jaredfromsubway.eth was a notorious MEV bot responsible for roughly 70% of Ethereum sandwich attacks between late 2024 and 2025, extracting millions from traders. The attacker deployed fake wrapper tokens and liquidity pools to bait the bot into approving a malicious helper contract, allowing the attacker to drain WETH, USDC, and USDT.
Outcome So Far
The attacker drained the bot's funds; the bot operator lost millions and its reputation as an unassailable extraction machine was shattered. No arrests or fund recovery have been reported.
