Everything started with an email from the brother of a friend asking for help.

Amidst the excitement of an alpha leak, he had entered his seed phrase where he shouldn't had. He got almost all of his savings siphoned out of his account.

Yet not everything was lost! He still had $14K worth of RFuel tokens (no, I didn't know this project existed either) staked in a contract.

Unstaking them involved a 7-day waiting period, which the hacker had already kicked-off.

This set a concrete date and time when these tokens would become available: 1616110845, or in human-readable terms, Thursday, March 18 8:40:45 PM ART.

The date for the showdown was set. We were going to fight to get those tokens before the hacker did.

With a week to prepare, I set out to research the latest from the flashbots team.

had recently demoed a sample project for rescuing tokens from compromised accounts, which was almost what I needed.

https://github.com/flashbots/searcher-sponsored-tx…

Flashbots allow you to submit an all-or-nothing bundle of txs. The miner decides whether to accept them based on the overall funds sent to the coinbase account.

This allows you to send txs from accounts with zero ETH, as long as another tx in the bundle pays for it.
