Polymarket has reportedly dismissed its chief marketing officer, Matthew Modabber, after an internal investigation into alleged misconduct, according to two outlets. The reports say Modabber was closely associated with Polymarket’s CEO, which adds a personal dimension to the personnel move.
CoinDesk and the New York Post both describe the decision as the result of a probe that started earlier in the year and involved a series of headline-grabbing incidents. Both accounts frame the firing as part of Polymarket’s internal review process rather than an external regulatory or legal development, while differing slightly in emphasis: the New York Post highlights the close alliance with CEO Shayne Coplan and the “string of” incidents, while CoinDesk focuses on the reported connection to the CEO and the fact of an internal probe into misconduct. Neither report, based on the provided summaries, includes detailed findings, specific misconduct allegations, or Polymarket’s official response.
