As soon as the bot blindly copied his bids, Hanwe then bought all of his Azukis at needlessly excessive costs to the bot. Whereas the highest bids for all of the NFTs have been beforehand beneath 5 ETH, Hanwe managed to promote them to the bot for 50 ETH every.
A lot of the income seem to have been moved to an Ethereum tackle labeled as Hanwe.eth, based on blockchain scanner Etherscan.
