I don't think we ever seen this level of naked corruption.

It's almost as if US reps (and select friends) are getting filthy rich on their insider information, and it's spiraling.

By the time Trump was elected, it's was already over; we live in interesting times.

Go ahead and vote, this is not a dissuasion. But, I mean, look at them. Their entire families are making a fortune. And we only know what is declared. Trump's family, Biden's family, Supreme Court justices, it's blatant.

the tip of the iceberg, many are over 10K declared trades a year.

Umm is that a serious question? Everyone knows what is going on. The real question is why they aren’t in death row.

What is Going on is HUNTER BIDEN!

-Free Thinking TM NOT Sheep Republicans!

It used to be a few tens of thousands of dollars of perfectly timed, suspicious bets. Then it became millions, the hundreds of millions, now a billion. Someone is getting greedy.

Cheating, specifically the fixing of bets with insider information.

Arrest, try, and hang those guilty of giving the information. Arrest, try, seize the assets of, and jail anyone who used that information. In an ideal justice system, this would apply to all forms of insider trading and betting. I'd also like to see the people running that marketplace dropped into a lava lake, but that's another matter.

Aside from insider trading, it's quite easy to predict a predictably stupid decisions from a stupid orange.

Crime what a silly question

And when they crash the economy they'll make more money on the way down.

I'd be more upset if it was the stock market instead of barely regulated online casinos.

I don't think these stats means much when they completely ignore the vastly larger group of people who guesses the dates wrong and lost money because of it.

Traders placed over $1bn in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war.

It's spelled "traitors"

And Kalshi and Polymarket don't care because they make money regardless. But this is a national security threat. Other countries just need to check the odds and who is betting and can get free and easy intelligence

Prediction markets are the insider trader's wet dream. Enjoy while it's unregulated and offshore!

Pretty easy to guess what's goimg on.

Whats going on? It is called treason and Market manipulation.

This entire administration needs to go to prison.

USA is profiting off of fake wars for half a century is what's going on?

Trump is just making it blatantly obvious because nobody ever tried to hold them accountable before.

Make all payouts over $1000 fully public record. Period. There should be ZERO anonymity for anyone who profits from this.

So Iran can watch the betting markets for signals of imminent attacks

This would not work if it wasn’t for the millions of absolutes dumbfuck people who gamble on outcomes they don’t have insider info on

People betting on shit like this are dumber than doorknobs. Signing up to getting robbed voluntarily. Gambling in general is stupid but this is especially stupid.

Corruption at its best!

What do you mean "What is going on?". It's Capitalism at it's best, converting peoples missery into proffit. In USA they found the way to convert peoples stupidity into profit. When you calculate how many idiots are living in USA profits are huge. For that Donald Trump deserve Nobel Prize in Economics.

"WhAt Is GoInG oN???¿‽"

Followed by that article. Horrific journalism.

capitalism. this is just the owning classes playing games.

We’re so fucking stupid, man.

That's a really weird spelling for traitors.....

Maybe we deserve to go extinct

Massive corruption

What's going on? Business as usual, that's what. Why do you think these guys worked so hard to steal the power? It's not complicated, looting America down to the floorboards has always been the entire plan.

Corruption and grift is what's going on..duh

What a coinkydink.

Well why not. No one’s going to stop them so… 🤦🏻

Iran is probably making money trading on it too

And how many bets were timed imperfectly?

Who's the damn house in this equation ? That's some Trumpian casino mismanagement.

Oh, right, $950 million was from the stock market, so peoples retirement funds I guess...

Document who did this. Make thier names known. Prep the evidence. Get ready for a fight.

No will stop them right now. But Im certain none of us will forget nor forgive.

Who wants to bet that Iran is able to get Intel from polymarket based on Trump's bets?

"WhAt CoUlD pOsSiBlY bE gOiNg On???!"

Wacky hypothesis of the day: Iran and the US actually have an agreement, and part of it is transferring wealth to Iran via Bitcoin and prediction market bets on the markets that they control together via announcements.

Is it money laundering?

More importantly, perfectly legal. But there is no hope making this illegal right now.

Fraud. It’s mostly fraud.

Money laundering by insiders is what's happening. Doesn't seem super complex.

It should be pretty fucking obvious what's going on to anyone with two fucking brain cells to rub together.

Corruption. Corruption is what’s going on. It isn’t hard.

"What is going on?"

Gee, that's a tough one, boss

They brought the swamp

Insider gambling!

anyone who thinks the stock market is not a complete fabrication of reality managed by the extremely wealthy just are not paying attention.

Isn't it obvious? Jared and his friends are making bank.

The Guardian: If only some investigative journalism would happen we might possibly discover the truth but alas no one has stepped forward. We will keep reporting on the lack of reporting no matter what.
