A lot of unconfirmed rumours circulating that Logan Paul insider traded his own Pikachu Illustrator sale on Polymarket.

• New wallet created days before the sale

• Bet ~$190K that price would clear $10M, $12M & $15M

• Only $1.3K bet on $18M & $20M (to look “normal”?)

• Sale happens… wallet profits $300K+

A lot of people will be keeping an eye on that wallet from now on to see who it can be linked to.
