Guess I should've responded 🤷♂️
You're a blackhat with the keys for a compromised withdrawal address.
288 Eth suddenly become available. What do you do?
If you're this knucklehead, you immediately send out a mempool tx with a 206 Eth gas fee, then, when challenged, say screw it, and dump the entire stack.
Hi @stakefish , I'm helping whitehat a compromised withdrawal address.
Unfortunately, it seems that if the bad guys can't have it, nobody can 😢
Any chance you can return those stolen funds to the rightful owner?

Funny thing about the mev blocker vic was that he was never going to land that 250 Eth arb.
If you simulate his tx ahead of the frontrun, it turns out he didn't supply enough gas and the V3 sale reverts.
Would've landed and then been frontrun to shreds in the next block.
