@yoasif This WP article indicates allegations of betting by someone in the know about the attack on Iran - https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/03/04/kalshi-khamenei-bet-controversy/ - This takes shameless enrichment to a whole other level! I wonder if it might be anyone we are familiar with??
