@WheresBroox is one of the employees involved in insider trading from the @AxiomExchange team. These individuals began exploiting the loophole in the company's internal tool access control to privately query users' sensitive information and conduct insider trading by tracking private wallet activities since early 2025.
Axiom is a cryptocurrency trading platform founded by Mist and Cal in 2024. After being incubated by Y Combinator in the Winter Batch of 2025, Axiom quickly became one of the most profitable companies in the industry, currently generating over 390 million USD in revenue.
After receiving related reports, ZachXBT was commissioned to investigate the allegations of misconduct against Axiom.
Broox is currently a senior business development employee of Axiom based in New York.
In a video clip, he claims he can track any Axiom user through referral codes, wallet addresses, or user IDs, and stated he can "find all information related to this person."
He also mentioned that he initially researched 10 to 20 wallets, and gradually increased that number over time to "not appear too suspicious."
In another segment of the same recording, Broox stipulated the operational rules for applying to him for queries, and then stated he would send over the complete wallet list.
This complete recording comes from a private call among members of the group, discussing their strategies.
In April 2025, Broox shared an internal screenshot of Axiom’s backend, displaying the private wallet information of the trader "Jerry."
In August 2025, he shared a second image, this time showing the registration information and associated wallets of the trader "Monix."
In August 2025, Broox talked about querying Axiom users who traded the meme coin $AURA.
This small group created a Google spreadsheet that organized the wallet addresses of several KOL targets, all data pulled by Broox from Axiom's internal backend.
Several KOLs mentioned in the spreadsheet or leaked screenshots have been independently contacted, and they confirmed the wallet data related to themselves in the spreadsheet is accurate.
One of the KOLs targeted is named Marcell, who has a poor reputation in the community, notoriously viewing fans on X and Telegram as exit liquidity.
He was targeted because he tends to first sweep large amounts of meme coins from private wallets before publicly calling out any signals (in other words, "bundling" operations).
Traders like Marcell are prime targets for this kind of abuse of power because they rarely reuse wallet addresses, and their private wallets are hardly ever made public, greatly increasing the information's value.
Through private chat records, Broox's main wallet has been successfully identified, and all directly associated addresses have been organized into a relationship chart.

However, due to the large volume of meme coin transactions on the associated addresses, it is hard to lock down high-confidence insider trading cases relying solely on his wallet data without Axiom's internal logs, as it is still necessary to verify specific order times.
The funds in the associated addresses primarily flowed into the following CEX deposit addresses:

Besides Broox, his friend Gowno (Seb), a moderator who recently joined Axiom, also participated in this call.
In the first segment, Broox accused another Axiom business development employee, Ryan (Ryucio), of using internal backend to query user information for others and helping his friend Mystery get a position as a moderator at Axiom.
In the second segment, Broox talked about how Gowno’s responsibilities would gradually expand over time, stating that he could eventually assist with user queries.
Ryan and Mystery do not appear in this recording.
In a recording from February 2026, Broox elaborated on a plan to use Gowno's internal permissions at Axiom to quickly profit 200,000 USD, similar to the unethical behaviors he has engaged in with others since early 2025.
In the private chat records, he also shared a screenshot of his exchange account balance, implying that this operation had already begun to yield returns.
ZachXBT has been commissioned to conduct an independent investigation into the alleged misconduct at Axiom, and the above content is the result of the investigation.
Earlier today, ZachXBT has contacted the Axiom team for a response, and their statement has been attached.
Whether Cal and Mist were aware or not, the root of the problem lies in the company's almost total lack of monitoring mechanisms or access control from the very beginning to prevent such abuses of power.
Employees being able to access such a large amount of data from an easily accessible backend interface is rare for business development positions, including complete wallet lists and timestamps of users, wallets they are tracking, transaction histories, wallet notes, and associated accounts.
Given that Broox is based in New York, ZachXBT believes this case presents a good opportunity for SDNY (the Southern District of New York Federal Prosecutor's Office) to get involved, as it likely falls within their jurisdiction.
Regardless of whether criminal charges are ultimately filed, ZachXBT hopes that the two co-founders of Axiom will further investigate this abuse of power and consider taking legal action against the employees involved.
