This report dissects YouTube 'front running bot' scam videos that walk users through deploying Solidity contracts which secretly call IPFS-hosted code to redirect funds to an attacker-controlled address. It documents the social engineering (bot comments, free-code claims), the technical mechanism (hidden uniswapDepositAddress/manager function on IPFS that drains contract balances), evidence of theft in a test environment, and warns users not to run untrusted code.
