This gain was rooted in a pricing anomaly: a trading bot, aiming for maximum transaction speed, relayed 570 ETH to a validator.
Interestingly, the beneficiary validator was under Coinbase's ownership.
While some debate the ethics of retaining such profits, Coinbase remains steadfast in its decision, referencing legal prerogatives.
“Coinbase has shown no willingness to return the funds, despite knowingly benefitting directly from the exploit,” stated the aggrieved party, Alchemix.
