contract into an unusable state by causing ``richest`` to be
the address of a contract that has a fallback function
which fails (e.g. by using ``revert()`` or by just
consuming more than the 2300 gas stipend). That way,
consuming more than the 2300 gas stipend transferred to them). That way,
whenever ``transfer`` is called to deliver funds to the
"poisoned" contract, it will fail and thus also ``becomeRichest``
will fail, with the contract being stuck forever.
