⚡ Disputes
"Rebate gate" — ongoing (~24+ days, no resolution): Polymarket secretly granted 80% taker fee rebates to select traders. Staff (keaton, Suhail) previously denied preferential treatment publicly. Discovered on-chain by community.
pmkeaton now admits no proper response given but calls it "not my area of expertise"; Suhail deflecting. Community alleging potential CFTC/MiFID II violations. Users threatening to exit; retail sentiment deteriorating.LP reward bots flagged: wallets
0x7f9c6ce5... and 0x581ee4cf... suspected of cancel-after-fill exploitation — fixed timestamps, tiny fills, rewards withdrawn ~10 min post-distribution. Taker delay variable also raised from 50 → 150 over past 3 weeks, possibly related.
