JaredfromSubway.eth's Sandwich Bot Extracts $295M; $7.5M Stolen in June 2026

Mars Finance reports that the sandwich attack bot operated by JaredfromSubway.eth has withdrawn a total of 117,007 ETH since March 2023, equivalent to approximately $295 million at current prices. In June 2026, an anonymous attacker deployed 66 counterfeit token contracts, exploiting the bot’s automated trading logic to steal at least $7.5 million in ETH and stablecoins, which were subsequently transferred to Tornado Cash—assets that remain unrecovered to date. Sandwich attacks are a form of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV): bots monitor the Ethereum public mempool for large transactions, purchase assets before the target transaction, and sell after the transaction drives up the price, profiting from the price spread. As of August 28, the bot’s primary contract had received a cumulative total of 117,007 ETH. MEV-Boost block building is concentrated among a few participants; relay.ultrasound.money, Titan Relay, and bloXroute relays collectively forwarded approximately 85% to 88% of relevant blocks within a 24-hour window; Titan’s builder independently assembled 50.3% of blocks. Monthly MEV extraction from sandwich attacks has declined from around $10 million at the end of 2024 to approximately $2.5 million in October 2025.
