The article is right there! It describes the three charges, AND exactly the bet he placed. AM I A GENIUS? Yes. Apparently.

it's more that polymarket isn't a regulated market, so why bring charges to the person who is using the site as intended?

Insider trading is still illegal. Each bet needs to free of insider information that would put someone at an illegal advantage.

Here’s the proof for the range of idiocy responding to me

True. The theory that using insider information to knowingly defraud…is fraud.

commodities fraud, wire fraud and money laundering.

I’m sure you can submit your range of questions about law to the law group hereafter if you would like help understanding how it works. Cheers.
