A trader just got sandwiched for 100k on the $NYC token launch. The MEV extractor seized the opportunity during the initial trading rush, front-running the transaction and extracting significant value. This is a stark reminder of how dangerous the early hours of a token launch can be—rapid price swings, high slippage, and searchers actively hunting for profitable extractions create a perfect storm. If you're planning to trade fresh launches, consider using private mempools or limit your position size. MEV is real, and it costs real money.

Lost 100k, that's why I never trade new coins on their first day.

Lost 100k, that's why I only dare to play new coins with small amounts... Early liquidity was so poor, once targeted by scammers, you're doomed.

100k was just wiped out like that, early launches are basically slaughterhouses.

100k is gone just like that, MEV bots are really sharp, their front-running skills are too slick.
