2/6 Here's how the searcher🕵️‍♂️ made this:
1) The 🕵️‍♂️ sent 4,700 $WETH from Balancer Vault to a Curve LP 0xd51a (Step 0,1 in the figure) and swapped the money for 6,075,210 $USDT (Step 2).
3/6
2) After receiving the $USDT, the 🕵️‍♂️ swapped only 6,074,603 $USDT for $USDC in another Curve LP 0xbebc (3,4), remaining 607 $USDT.

3) Then, 6,065,352 from 6,065,959 $USDC was swapped to 5,606 $WETH through Uniwap V2 (5,6), during which the searcher reserved 607 $USDC.
4/6
4) In total, the 🕵️‍♂️ gained 5,606 $WETH, 607 $USDT as well as 607 $USDC.
After sending 4,700 $WETH back to Balance Vault and generously paying 720 $ETH to the miner (8,9,10), its net income was 186 $WETH and $1,214 worth $USDT&$USDC.
5/6 That's all for this awesome tx.

1/9 The top 🥪 became breakfast in the morning, marking a productive start to the day.

eigenphi.io/ethereum/tx/0x…
2/9 The 😢 of this 🥪, also the biggest victim of the day, was a Tornado Cash Withdrawer.
eigenphi.io/ethereum/sandw…
It lost $11,840 in the attack when swapping 895.95 $WETH for $renBTC.
However, the #MEV 🤖 only earned $4,259, since it paid $7,580 to the DEX and miners 🔨.
3/9 A consequence of the 🥪 was the rise of $renBTC, which became the hottest token yesterday.
Top LP: a $WETH/$renBTC pool.
