A leading exchange's Alpha project was recently suspected of insider trading.

Someone discovered that the platform's official account posted about a certain token a few seconds before the official Twitter announcement. Even more suspiciously, the related tweet was quickly deleted.

This is quite awkward—just the day before, an executive from the platform publicly emphasized that internal employees were strictly prohibited from participating in token launches. And then the very next day, this kind of timeline discrepancy pops up?

Even though the time difference was only a few seconds, in the crypto market—where competition happens at the millisecond level—everyone knows what front-running by a few seconds can mean. The community is now in an uproar, waiting for an official explanation.

If this really turns out to be true, it could deal a significant blow to the exchange's reputation.
