I don't think it's possible. I have thought about whether they could stop the trading bot from paying the 1% daily, but if they did this, demand for the token would drop, and everybody would sell their BCC tokens when their lock-out period ended, driving down token prices for BCC. At a certain level of BCC token value dropping, they would no longer have enough BCC token to repay the lending wallet redemptions.
I imagine the bot may start paying less when they start penny pinching, but at that point what are they protecting because people will stop investing. Might as well just run with the money at that point.
