Crypto Scandal Unveiled: Axiom Employee’s Hilarious Insider Trading Antics!

In a scandalous twist befitting the grandest of Russian tragedies, the illustrious crypto investigator ZachXBT has revealed his much-anticipated investigation into the murky waters of insider trading, all revolving around the enigmatic Axiom-a decentralized trading terminal that, in its noble aspiration, allows users to trade cryptocurrencies directly from their own wallets without relinquishing custody. Ah, what a dream! Yet, as with all dreams, there lurks a nightmare.

His viral post, shrouded in tantalizing mystery like a Dostoevskian riddle, ignited more than $2 million in wagers on Polymarket, as intrepid speculators sought to divine which company would be unmasked. Axiom was graced with a mere 13% chance, and lo! Those who placed their bets reaped significant profits, proving once again that fortune favors the bold-or perhaps the foolish!

Axiom Employee’s Devious Exploitation of Internal Access

The spotlight falls upon Broox Bauer, a senior business development employee at Axiom Exchange, who is alleged to have wielded internal tools with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to access sensitive user data, tracking private wallets for the purpose of insider trading. Such audacity! One cannot help but chuckle-what hubris!

1/ Meet @WheresBroox (Broox Bauer), one of the multiple @AxiomExchange employees allegedly abusing the lack of access controls for internal tools to lookup sensitive user details to insider trade by tracking private wallet activity since early 2025.

According to the findings, which read like the confessions of a tormented soul:

  • Broox supposedly accessed Axiom’s internal dashboard to view private wallet connections tied to unsuspecting users.
  • He could reportedly identify wallets using referral codes, UID, or wallet linkage, as if he were a digital detective in a sordid tale.
  • He allegedly shared this information with a clandestine group to mark profitable trading targets, akin to a band of conspirators plotting in the shadows.
  • The group meticulously compiled wallet lists in Google Sheets, monitoring and potentially front-running trades, as if they were crafting the next great Russian novel of deceit.

This is significant, dear reader, for in the world of meme coin trading, where fortunes are made and lost with the swiftness of a Dostoevskian plot twist, private wallet attribution is the Holy Grail of information.

Internal Dashboard: A Treasure Trove of Sensitive User Intelligence

One of the most disconcerting aspects of this affair is the alarming level of internal access allegedly bestowed upon employees. What a world we inhabit!

ZachXBT notes that the internal dashboard provided visibility into:

  • Full wallet lists linked to specific users,
  • Transaction history,
  • Wallet nicknames,
  • Connected accounts,
  • Wallet tracking activity,
  • Timestamped activity data.

This kind of access would permit an insider to observe high-performing traders in real time, trading ahead of them with the cunning of a fox-and the morality of a rogue.

In the realm of traditional finance, such behavior would undoubtedly be classified as insider trading, a sin most grievous.

The investigation lays bare multiple forms of supporting evidence, including clandestine call recordings-oh, the irony! In recorded conversations, Broox is alleged to have elucidated how to discreetly lookup users, discussing how to track 10-20 wallets at first to evade suspicion, while eagerly planning to assist others in profiting swiftly with his nefarious internal access.

These recordings, central to the investigation, serve as a tragicomic testament to human folly.

8/ Along with Broox in the call is close his friend Gowno (Seb), a recently hired moderator at Axiom.

In the first clip, Broox alleges Ryan (Ryucio), another Axiom BD employee, has used the internal dashboard to look up users on behalf of others, and that he helped get his…

The recordings suggest a broader conspiracy within the hallowed halls of Axiom, involving moderators and additional business development staff-all complicit in this farce.

Notably, ZachXBT was independently contracted to conduct this investigation, while Axiom claims ignorance of the situation and asserts they are pursuing further inquiries. Ah, the sweet scent of irony!

This case unveils a perilous structural risk inherent in crypto trading platforms. Centralized internal analytics tools, coupled with lax access controls, lay the groundwork for insider trading opportunities, exposing the frailty of systems that claim to be decentralized. Even non-custodial platforms can harbor centralized internal intelligence, leading us to ponder: in this grand play of life, who truly holds the strings?
