The recent arrest of Robert Robb, an MEV engineer known as “pokerbrat” in the crypto community, by U.S. law enforcement has raised eyebrows. The arrest, which took place on March 20, is shrouded in mystery, with the exact reason still unknown. However, speculations suggest it could be related to an alleged rug pull orchestrated by Robb.

In December 2023, ZachXBT exposed Robb’s fraudulent activities, revealing how he scammed over $1.2 million from eleven investors. The victims had invested in MEV bots, with promises of future returns. Instead, Robb disappeared with their funds, citing various excuses for the delays.

Robb’s checkered past came to light, showing his history of fraud and scams dating back to 2002. Despite threats of legal action and plans to launch the MEV project, Robb’s arrest has brought the alleged rug pull case back into focus.

The crypto community eagerly awaits the release of court documents to uncover the details of Robb’s arrest. While the specific charges remain undisclosed, the evidence suggests a connection to the alleged rug pull. This incident highlights the prevalence of scams in the crypto space, with scammers stealing millions from unsuspecting victims in 2023.
