Yesssssss!
Have fun in court with the "bank robber left a sack of money in my taxi so I should get to keep it" legal defense.
Searchers return funds. Builders return funds. Welcome to the party, validators.
Oleksii Trofimchuk has filed a lawsuit against @LidoFinance and us in Santa Clara County Superior Court on September 8, alleging that after his wallet was compromised, competing MEV bots submitted high-priority-fee transactions to claim the ETH.
As a validator, @stakefish includes valid transactions under Ethereum’s protocol rules. We do not and cannot determine off-chain ownership or adjudicate competing claims to assets.
Requiring protocol-following validators to claw back rewards based on off-chain claims would set a dangerous precedent. It would pressure validators to filter transactions based on legal or ownership claims they cannot independently verify, put staking rewards in legal uncertainty, and undermine Ethereum’s decentralization and credible neutrality. This is something we believe is important to defend.
Hi there @LidoFinance, it's me again. Was just hacked for 20 Eth, almost all of which got funneled to you.

Any chance you want to return those dirty, dirty funds?
Frontrunner returned their share: etherscan.io/tx/0xd8fb9df82f…
When can I expect to hear from you @LidoFinance?
Will even let you keep a 10% bounty 🥳

who had weeks earlier sent me this message:
Guess I should've responded 🤷♂️
Nope. When your town square is run by an actual Nazi, it's time to find a different town.
So long Twitter, I'm moving to mevrefund.bsky.social
New hobby:
Watching this guy piss away $500 every two minutes:

@CoWSwap your funds appear to be moooving away ...

Bruh, the funds are in your upgradeable smart contract, @stakefish You can return them, you just don't want to.
Would love to see this litigated somewhere, like when Oasis was forced to rug the Jump hacker.
Crypto lawyers how/where can we make this happen?
Hi @LidoFinance , it's me again. Some more stolen funds headed your way. Would be amazing if you could return them, just like you did here: snapshot.org/#/lido-snapshot…

Hi @LidoFinance , sorry (not sorry) we couldn't pay you as much as @stakefish , but would really appreciate it if you can return the stolen funds as well.

Hi @krakenfx @krakensupport , the lunatics with the stolen private key forced me to dump 92 Eth to your validator.
Please reach out to return the stolen funds.

Hi @stakefish , I'm helping whitehat a compromised withdrawal address.
Unfortunately, it seems that if the bad guys can't have it, nobody can 😢
Any chance you can return those stolen funds to the rightful owner?

Would you like their contact info?
Pretty sure I've got Discord and TG user names.
They're the mev blocker vic in this thread: xitter.cf/MevRefund/status/18430…
About 7 hours ago our Staking Rewards timeLock contract, deployed almost 4 years ago, was exploited for a loss of 475k XFT (~152k USD), the remaining tokens that were allocated for staking rewards at launch.
