Well, since Marinade has decided to stay silent and not comment on the situation, even after the people from the Top 10 themselves revealed the entire scheme of receiving free stake, we will continue to bring attention to the issue that has not been solved with the new fix. Validators are not receiving any penalties and continue to receive stake from Marinade, even with bids lower than 0.01 SOL.
In epoch 785, the MIN_effective_BID was 0.078 SOL. In this epoch, Marinade missed at least 199.72 SOL.
As of epoch 785, there are 92 validators receiving stake from Marinade, while their bid is less than 0.01 SOL. Two validators have been penalized. One was completely stripped of their bond — a total of 302.987 SOL was deducted as a penalty (55d5XyCu3Ap1yLHHJd6ChBT3pgP4HE6MPmJrU7TbAwYw), and the second lost only 44.971 SOL, but still has a remaining bond of 46.932 SOL (2wUhcnViyzstvWmk7NAboKtjbFbqJPo4BvFBV37dacLc), which will likely be enough for one more epoch.
The total stake, either fully or partially unpaid by validators for epoch 785, is 2,590,198.891 SOL (this figure already excludes the two penalized validators mentioned above).
Additionally, it’s worth noting that 5 validators have set their MEV commission to 100%, meaning that stakers are not receiving any MEV income from these validators. The total stake for these validators is 410,000 SOL.

I did not publish the remaining validators because their stake from Marinade in epoch 785 is less than 1000 SOL (and they also do not pay for it, or pay partially). 1000 SOL of free stake — is it really that much in the context of a 37,000 SOL loss? I’m right to assume this, aren’t I?
Also, I would like to address those validators who say something like: “Oh, I didn’t know I was doing something wrong. Yes, I took advantage of the vulnerability, but it’s not my problem, it’s Marinade’s fault.”
Dear validators, if you find a vulnerability in a banking system and exploit it, you’ll likely face real criminal charges in your country. But you probably won’t exploit that vulnerability because you understand the consequences.
However, vulnerabilities in Marinade can be exploited without any fear of consequences, right? Of course, no one will punish you. This is exactly what Marinade demonstrates with its behavior and by ignoring this thread.
Well, no worries, we will continue to raise awareness of the scale of the issue to the Solana Foundation.
