For instance, when examined closely, one clip shows someone visiting \u201cpoiymarket.com\u201d rather than polymarket.com. According to the <em>Journal\u2019s<\/em> investigation, none of the bets placed in the over 1,100 videos it reviewed were real. In 118 videos, the creators were shown reacting to winning bets totaling almost $900,000. But in reality, those bets would have lost $166,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Since the <em>Journal<\/em> started asking questions, many creators have scrubbed the videos from their accounts, and Polymarket has taken down sites like \u201cpoiymarket\u201d which were used as part of the ploy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tly2fw0\"><span class=\"tly2fw2\"><strong>Follow topics and
