GoKawiilPolymarket probe finds $600M in trades tied to long-shot election candidates
Analysis by former Polymarket trader Chris Park found that two Polymarket election markets—covering Ethiopia's recent elections and another global race—generated over $600 million in trading volume, with most bets placed on candidates who ultimately lost. In Ethiopia's case, about $285 million was wagered, with roughly $284 million of that stemming from pairs of accounts repeatedly trading with each other rather than genuine independent bettors.
