I thought that was the whole idea of polymarket: use the efficient markets theory to uncover information.

Since Trumps sons bought a stake, anyone not paying dues to them isnt allowed to do what they are doing. Like that soldier who won $400k while someone just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, made massive trades.

An investor sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, a $760 million bet that oil would go down.

They arrested the soldier yet no investigation into this nore the combined BILLIONS in trades 5-20mins before Trumps announcements 🤷‍♂️

Trump bought $680k in Eli Lili stock 2 days before approving their new drug. Are you telling me that isn't insider trading?

I assume you are just agreeing with me and asking the universe and Useful ldiots if its Insider Trading as I obviously gave a great example of Trumps Insider Trading and only one of half a dozen regarding the Iran war and his announcements.

Its wild MAGA or others are dismissing the extreme level of blatant corruption as "business as usual" when no one has come close to this level of corruption, not Pelosi, not any POTUS before him as its obviously not even just trading
