I agree that his contract is predatory, but the exploit is so puzzling simply that I don't understand why it wasn't caught by the bots. It should be trivially obvious to calculate the outcome of these contracts before throwing $100K USD at them, but apparently someone was running bots that didn't check before executing trades? They just executed contracts and assumed that they were written fairly?

> It should be trivially obvious to calculate the outcome of these contracts I don't know of any wallet implementations that do this. Seems like a basic user need. I think you'd have to run a full node to get geth to do it, but I'm not sure. Of course, ethermine is certainly running a full node, so maybe they should have thought about that, but I think normal users should have this protection too.
