Crypto gamblers are crying foul as they stand to lose millions of dollars in a bet over whether Ukraine's president would wear a suit.

The cofounder of UMA, Hart Lumbur, says the organization is planning to make adjustments to the dispute resolution process in light of the Zelensky suit controversy, but rejects the allegation that the vote has been manipulated in any way.
