If someone is making money by front-running the market another person at the other side of the trade is losing money.
We're talking about ways to systematically lose money, which means you would need to systematically throw yourself into the front-runner's path, which means you would know where that path is, which means you can systematically forecast the front-running. I think the EMH would be a bit upset by that :-)
