Developer nimaowji revealed his Grok-based trading bot "Grokbit" had earned over $10K in fees, but another Grok Bot with wallet access sold some assets at very low prices. He cut off its access and bought back, highlighting the risks of granting AI agents autonomous control over funds: profits can be real, but losses are instant when the agent misbehaves.
