UDT gives the money in the counterfactual mugging thought experiment, TDT doesn't.

There's nothing that prevents a UDT agent from behaving as if it were updating; that's what I surmise would happen in more normal situations where Omega isn't involved. But if ignoring information is the winning move, TDT can't do that.
