Nine gambling accounts have earned over $2.4 million from more than 80 bets tied to U.S. military actions, prompting accusations of insider trading and a fresh warning from the White House that using non‑public government information for financial gain is a federal crime. A new analysis by data firm Bubblemaps found a 98 % win rate for these anonymous accounts on high‑profile events such as the U.S. capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, the killing of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei, and the timing of ceasefires and bombardments in the war with Iran. Polymarket, the prediction‑market platform where the wagers were placed, says it flags suspicious activity and cooperates with law‑enforcement, while officials note that many individuals involved in planning operations could leak privileged information. Recent cases include a soldier indicted for using a VPN to bet on Maduro’s capture and an anonymous user who profited $553,000 after Khamenei’s death, underscoring the concern that government insiders may be exploiting their access to confidential data for profit.
