Scammers in 100k$ Pocket Pro competition

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY IN THE POCKET TRADING COMPETITION LEADERBOARD.

Very recently, new accounts started appearing at the top of the leaderboard in a strange manner. I found these wallets from the individual traders’ table. THEY ALL TRADED TESLA STOCK AMONGST THEMSELVES AT THE SAME TIME, this is visible in the transactions. There is a low liquid order book, and the “fraudster” was transferring liquidity from one dydx account to another. He did it simply by placing asks at 530$ and bids at $390, thereby opening and closing positions with himself and thus transferring liquidity from one account to another.


I am leaving the names of the groups involved in this scam:

“Pakinta”
“Pocket”
“HP King Group”
“hieu”

Wallets of these scammers:
1 dydx1ygrwwrk6pt7wsqgtwuvh6zpd7r2jkswakm83y9
2 dydx1v3xf48rystfqp3tgxm36uqvfrkn45d44xz4f0h

This scammer was transferring liquidity from one account to another, which you can see in the screenshot: a limit buy on one account and a market sell into himself on the other.

Fourth place: Chính Hữu. Team name: HP King Group

Last place: Minh Hiếu. Team name: hieu
dydx1heme852pf66v4m8hmjcndx0pad84txep4ve6fk

the same transfer of liquidity from one account to another

Also
Third place: DinhHugo. Team name: Pocket

Chaos Labs should definitely ban such manipulations.
If I, as a user, found you proof of fraud, then it shouldn’t be difficult for you as developers to see it.
