Yesterday, a hot topic in the crypto community was about someone uncovering a suspicious Polymarket transaction.
According to on-chain analysis, the over $400,000 profit behind this transaction is suspected to involve insider trading manipulation. The investigation process is quite absurd: two wallets funded on Polymarket were both transferred from a major exchange, with transfer times so tightly packed that it’s almost unbelievable.
One wallet’s story best illustrates the issue — on January 1st, it withdrew 252 SOL from the exchange, and almost at the same time, the exchange received a deposit of a similar amount of on-chain SOL. More importantly, it was discovered that the deposit address was linked to a co-founder of a well-known project.
Even more astonishing, these wallets used the same set of deposit addresses. The over $400,000 earned on Polymarket was quickly withdrawn back to the exchange, and shortly after, $170,000 worth of Fartcoin was transferred into the same deposit address — returning to the original deposit address.
The flow of funds closed in a circle. Is it a coincidence? Or did someone get insider information, make precise bets on Polymarket, and then recycle the profits? Once this chain of details emerged, the entire community was shaken.

This routine is so familiar—insider information, connections, and a closed-loop of funds... Do they really think we're fools?

This move is really clever—frontally buying the dip while secretly harvesting the profits.

This is outright front-running, and you still dare to play around with the backing of the co-founder?

Wait, 252 SOL, 170,000 Fartcoin—these numbers are so particular. Could it really be just a coincidence?

This trick is way too obvious, it feels like money laundering right under our noses.
