Who would be interested in doing something like this? The idea that many bots were competing for the sum until the entire amount was consumed by fees seems incorrect. If that were the case, my Sparrow Wallet log wouldn’t report that I couldn’t replace the transaction due to the abnormally high fee. This proves that the high fee was set in a single action, not through thousands of small, incremental fees until the entire sum was used up.
Your Sparrow Wallet probably didn't see all "intermediate" fees. I assume the bots who competed to replace your transaction are all very fast, and this happened in a fraction of a second. You only saw the end result.
