MEV Bots instantly rushed the pool to swap CRV for valuable WBTC - with the first bot making off with $1.36M in WBTC for only $730K in CRV. But the bot only netted ~$260, paying $527K of ETH to the validator just to make this transaction. Tough luck!

Somebody just lost $700K in 12 seconds thanks to MEV Bots. 0x568 was a large LP who entered the wrong values while creating a new WBTC-CRV pool on Uniswap v3 - and ended up adding $1.5M of liquidity far above fair market price.
