Forecast market turmoil intensifies! Multiple on-chain analysis points out that an abnormal profit phenomenon occurred in a Polymarket prediction trade yesterday—an individual account gained approximately $400,000 in profit on the night before the related event, with trading patterns indicating possible informational advantage. Community analyst Andrey_10gwei publicly highlighted the abnormal operational characteristics of this associated wallet, sparking market concern. Industry insiders speculate that such trades may be linked to specific interested parties, involving issues of fairness and information disclosure in prediction markets. This incident once again sounds the alarm—amid the rapid development of decentralized prediction markets, information asymmetry and pre-positioning risks are becoming urgent compliance issues to address. Mainstream prediction platforms like Polymarket need to further improve their trading monitoring mechanisms to prevent similar abnormal trades from impacting market trust.

Coming again? Polymarket is causing quite a stir this time, with $400,000 mysteriously disappearing and the community having to dig it out... That's why I've always said that on-chain transparency can't save human greed, as undercover behavior is hard to prevent. Human's trading volume exploded the night before, reaching levels comparable to those previous incidents...

$400,000 overnight riches, is that all? Luckily I got caught, or else we’d really think everyone’s blind --- Here we go again, tired of playing the information gap game... I’ve known for a long time that prediction markets are this deep --- Decentralization can’t save human nature either, as the saying goes — places without regulation are just paradise for big players --- Polymarket needs to reflect seriously this time. If this continues, who will still dare to play... --- Prediction markets were originally a good track, but it’s been messed up by these group of market manipulators

Here we go again, seen this kind of thing many times... Making 400,000 dollars overnight, honestly, it's just insider trading under a different guise. I feel like Polymarket is still too transparent; everything on the chain can be checked, so bad actors can be exposed easily. Do these people really think about how to clear their suspicions? With this operation mode, it's obviously fake. Decentralization can't save greedy people; it all depends on self-discipline... LOL. It should have been regulated earlier. Instead of analyzing after the fact, it's better to prevent it in advance. Now it's too late for damage control.

$400,000 overnight profit? How insider is that... It's another game of information asymmetry, we retail investors really can't afford to play Polymarket's transparency is really concerning, it should have been investigated long ago Prediction markets are basically gambling, and now we have to watch out for being exploited That's why I still prefer projects with on-chain data transparency Has anyone uncovered who owns that wallet... Compliance? Saying that in crypto is a bit funny Regulation is coming, can we still play prediction markets? Feeling a bit anxious Information advantage = insider trading, just a different way of saying it

400,000 USD earned in one night... what a huge information gap that must be --- Here we go again, Polymarket's regulation really needs to be strengthened --- Inside job? It still feels too easy to get "scalped" in Web3 --- Andrey is a detective genius; he can uncover such anomalies --- Prediction markets are booming, but the information symmetry is way too poor --- 400,000? I'm still struggling with predictions at 1 dollar --- Under the guise of decentralization, it's happening again, hilarious

Coming again? $400,000 just gone in one night. How much information asymmetry does that require? That's why I never touch prediction markets—it's too easy to get exploited. It's insider manipulation; such things can never be completely avoided on the blockchain. Polymarket needs to learn a lesson this time, or no one will play anymore. Profits from the previous night... I think this account must be really smart to hit the right timing.
