A trader lost about $2 million in an Ether swap after a decentralized exchange router routed the transaction through a low-liquidity AVAIL/WETH pool, causing a severe price imbalance. This allowed a same-block backrun arbitrage to extract over 1,072 WETH, leaving the trader with only $14,500 worth of LIT tokens. The incident, highlighted by GoPlus Security, shows how routing decisions and MEV (maximal extractable value) activities can cause massive losses without classic sandwich attacks. Traders are advised to carefully review transaction routes before confirming swaps to avoid similar costly mistakes.
