TechFlow News: On May 8, according to CoinDesk, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin was sandwiched by the well-known MEV bot jaredfromsubway.eth on April 30 during a small token swap. On-chain data shows that Buterin swapped 26,544 XDB tokens—valued at approximately $3.86—for 0.00197 ETH (valued at ~$4.56) in block 24993038. The bot then manipulated prices across SushiSwap and Uniswap V2 by routing roughly $1.14 million worth of WETH, completing the sandwich attack. After deducting $5.14 in gas fees, the bot incurred an actual loss from this attack.
