Axiom DEX Employee Insider Trading
Auto-generated score, not yet verified against the scoring model. Under review — treat as indicative, not a verdict.
anchored·5Jw6kL…dYSdSummary
In February 2026, blockchain investigator ZachXBT published findings alleging that employees of Axiom Exchange, a Y Combinator-backed Solana trading platform, abused internal customer support dashboards to track private user wallet activity and execute insider trades over approximately one year. The alleged scheme, centered on senior business development employee Broox Bauer, exploited the platform's lack of role-based access controls to compile non-public trading data on high-profile crypto traders, with a secondary layer of alleged front-running on Polymarket prediction markets using advance knowledge of ZachXBT's impending report. No formal criminal charges had been publicly announced as of the investigation's release.
