An anonymous Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) bot operator has cashed in well over $1 million this week by executing “sandwich attacks” against buyers and sellers of two new meme coins.
The wallet address, linked to the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domain “jaredfromsubway.eth” made $950,000 from the sandwich attacks on April 18 and profited about $300,000 and $400,000 on April 17 and 19 respectively according to an April 19 tweet from nonfungible token (NFT) data platform Sealaunch.
