Polymarket fires CMO over fake trade scheme amid internal probe and investor concerns

Polymarket has dismissed its chief marketing officer, Matthew Modabber, following an internal investigation into a scheme involving fake webpages promoting staged trades. This scandal, exposed by the Wall Street Journal, led to a Commodity Futures Trading Commission probe, though no wrongdoing has been confirmed. Modabber, a close ally of CEO Shayne Coplan, was seen as a liability by the board as the company aims to mature and prepare for a possible IPO. The firing highlights tensions within Polymarket as it seeks to improve governance and investor confidence amid rapid growth and public controversies.
