Dragonfly partner Haseeb Qureshi denies Polymarket CEO misappropriating company funds
PANews October 21 reported that Dragonfly partner Haseeb Qureshi posted on X, saying that claims that Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan used company funds to pay for expenses such as private jets and was discovered by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund are untrue. Qureshi said Dragonfly is one of Polymarket the largest early investors. He stated that Coplan did not draw a salary at the time, disclosed all expenses, which were equivalent to an annual salary roughly comparable to that of a software engineer, and that the flights were not for private use. He said the reconciliation and repayment process was initiated voluntarily by Coplan, the relevant amounts were fully repaid to the company, and Coplan subsequently began drawing a normal salary. Qureshi believes this was an accounting issue, not an integrity issue.
