Polymarket Addresses “Retardio” Incident Involving Intern
Polymarket, a decentralized prediction market platform, recently issued a public statement addressing the controversy surrounding an intern’s posts that formed the word “retardio.” The company expressed regret for the incident, stating that the offensive posts were promptly removed upon discovery.
The series of single-letter posts, when read together, spelled out the derogatory term “retardio,” which led to backlash from the community. Polymarket emphasized that such language is unacceptable and does not align with the company’s values or culture.
In response to the incident, Polymarket confirmed that the intern responsible for the posts has been terminated. Despite calls from some in the crypto community to rehire the intern, a Polymarket spokesperson defended the decision, citing corporate governance considerations.
