How else did they get into a block then?
They were relayed through regular nodes running libre relay.
I myself had one running and saw many transactions > 80 bytes in my logs.
Made several posts about it with txids so anyone could verify.

Man in the middle I think
Yes.
1- Scammer sees you selling;
2- Finds a buyer (victim);
3- Tells victim to send you fiat;
4- You see the payment, send coins to scammer;
5- You and the scammer are happy, the victim isn't and will call the bank, go after you etc;
Step 2 can be unrelated to Bitcoin (ex: scammer could pretend to be selling a phone).

If you are afraid of trading on RoboSats, take a look at this.
An interesting analysis of how orders end up on my coordinator.

The problem is when you stumble upon some piece of sh*t performing MITM scams. One bad trade ruins dozens or hundreds of good trades.
I made like 10 trades and then met the scammer. Bank charged back the money from my account. I filed a lawsuit, won, but had the bank account terminated and was banned from some services affiliated with that bank.
For Lightning or Monero swapping, gift cards etc, it's great. But without a reputation system, it's too risky to interact with the fiat system.

Bitcoin Core vs. Bitcoin Knots: The Great Bitcoin Spam Fight
The Bitcoin community is engaged in an interesting debate: Bitcoin Core vs. Bitcoin Knots. What are they? Why are they fighting?
Here, I ...
> Knots quickly fixed this in its 25.1 release
1- Knots did not fix anything. Everybody running Knots is storing all the data exactly as the people running Core or other implementations.
2- Even if every single node runner were running Knots, if ONE miner decides to take those transactions, the data would still be there.
3- Even if all miners ran Knots, the inscription pattern (called envelope) can trivially be adapted to bypass that filter.

What I'm hearing in my tech inept brain is it's basically the same app without a fee for a directory and most of the same anonymity tools?
Yes, but without Whirlpool, at least for the moment.
No, both the binaries and the sources are available here (append the file name to the URL): https://jitpack.io/io/samourai/code/whirlpool/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-core/007/
It was a relief knowing it was uploaded before the arrest!
It's not ideal, but JitPack is a very popular Maven repository, like google and mavencentral.
