BlockBeats News, January 1st, Formula News founder Vida replayed the BROCCOLI714 hack event on the X platform this morning, earning $1 million. Within 1800 seconds, Vida noticed BROCCOLI714's fluctuation of over 30%, immediately closed the previously set arbitrage position, with the original $500,000 arbitrage hedge position turning into a spot position worth $800,000 and a contract value of $500,000, closing all arbitrage positions and pocketing $300,000.

Subsequently, Vida immediately found a $5 million buy wall at 10% depth on the Binance BROCCOLI714 spot, while the contract only had a $50,000 buy wall at 10% depth. The Binance main site order book showed BROCCOLI714 with a market value of $40 million, with a $26 million bid, leading to the inference that a user account had been compromised or a bug had appeared in the market-making program. After confirming that the hacker had $26 million on the spot order book, knowing that their goal was to pump the spot and then exit through the contract, and confirming that as long as the hacker did not withdraw the buy order in the spot market, the price of BROCCOLI714 would continue to rise.

Afterward, Vida chose to attempt a long position on the BROCCOLI714 USDT perpetual contract on the trading terminal every 5-10 seconds. A successful order meant that the contract's circuit breaker protection period had elapsed, and the contract would be pumped. Vida eventually succeeded in waiting for this opportunity and increased their long position by about $200,000 at an entry cost of $0.046 per contract.

After the hacker's first suspected withdrawal from the order book, Vida believed that they had been sanctioned by the risk control department and began to sell all the previously hoarded BROCCOLI714 spot and contract positions, including the initial $200,000 position and the additional $200,000 position, cashing out $1.5 million. At 4:31 Beijing time, after confirming that the hacker had completely withdrawn from the order book, Vida opened a short contract position of about $400,000 at a cost of around $0.065, and eventually closed the position at around $0.02.
