    Another example of the dangers of "risk free" aggression in DeFi Land: https://twitter.com/SiegeRhino2/status/1381035640989626369

    Some choice excerpts:

    "a bot paid a hefty 68 ETH fee to the miner in order to buy 100 ETH worth of KTN before anyone can..."

    "The catch is ... there is a line in the code that says that liquidity snipers can't dump their tokens..."

    "The @kattanatrade team even published the source code, with the "LiquidityTrap" feature, which prevents sniper from dumping their token."

    "The owner of the first poisonous token noticed their victim was the latest predator on the block and they dropped a cryptographically signed note of respect in the Flashbots discord":
