GoKawiilReport: Stolen debit cards used to launder money through Polymarket bets

A payment processor working with Polymarket flagged the scheme as early as February, rejecting over 80 percent of incoming transactions as fraudulent — far above the roughly 1 percent industry norm — with attempted fraud totaling at least $10 million.
