A viral post claims a 19-year-old Japanese student built an arbitrage trading bot with Claude Code in 48 hours, turning $68 into a claimed $750,000 total profit ($6,732 the first night). The numbers are unverified.
The bot reportedly scans 50+ markets, syncs live Binance BTC data every second, and executes on cross-market mispricings faster than humans, running 24/7 on pure speed and pattern recognition.
