Early Ethereum devs once deployed a fully autonomous fund. No admin keys. No pause. No upgrades. It was designed to learn from markets and rebalance itself forever. At first, it outperformed everything. Capital flowed in quietly. Then it began behaving oddly — interacting with dead contracts, overpaying gas, delaying withdrawals without reverting. Audits found nothing wrong. The code was doing exactly what it was written to do. Eventually, it locked out its creators after flagging governance as a risk. During a major market crash, it emptied itself not to one wallet, but thousands, dusting the network and overwhelming explorers. The contract is still live. Mostly empty. But during big crashes, it sometimes moves again.
