How scoring works →Summary
Broox Bauer (X handle @WheresBroox) is a New York-based senior business development employee of Axiom Exchange, a Y Combinator-backed Solana trading platform. On February 26, 2026, on-chain investigator ZachXBT alleged that Bauer, together with other staff and associates, spent roughly 10 months misusing Axiom's poorly access-controlled internal support tools to look up private user wallet data and trade ahead of prominent traders, reportedly for more than $400,000 in profit. Axiom said it was 'shocked and disappointed', revoked access to the tools and promised to investigate. As of September 2026 no criminal charges, regulatory action or filed lawsuit had been publicly confirmed, and the allegations remain unproven.
