“Feb 27, 2026: ZachXBT exposed Axiom employees front-running his investigation via Polymarket. 12+ coordinated wallets, $1.2M+ profit. Axiom acknowledged and launched internal review.”

“ZachXBT February 2026 investigation alleged that senior Axiom employee Broox used internal customer-support tools to access private user wallet data and front-run trades for over 10 months pocketing 400000+ USD. Axiom said it was shocked and disappointed and removed access. A secondary scandal emerged on Polymarket where newly created wallets bet 40 million USD on which firm ZachXBT will next name and made 1 million USD profit moments before Axiom was revealed suggesting the investigation target was leaked. The specific scope and Polymarket meta-incident constitute new evidentiary detail for the existing Axiom file.”
