In a Thursday post on X \/ Twitter, ZachXBT revealed that multiple Axiom employees, including one he identified by name as Broox Bauer, had abused Axiom\u2019s \u201clack of access controls for internal tools\u201d to look up users\u2019 private details and engage in insider trading by tracking specific users\u2019 wallets.<\/p>\n
ZachXBT shared audio clips of Bauer, who is employed by Axiom in a senior business development role.
