An analysis has revealed that five accounts on the prediction market platform Polymarket profited significantly from insider information related to U.S.-Iran conflicts. These accounts collectively earned $1.3 million by accurately predicting geopolitical events, such as the U.S.-Israel joint strike on Iran and a subsequent ceasefire. Notably, one account placed a bet just 21 minutes before the outbreak of conflict, while another achieved a 20x return through strategic reinvestment.
The accounts, registered shortly before major geopolitical events, displayed characteristics typical of insider trading, such as concentrated investments and precise timing. Despite some losses, their overall success suggests access to privileged information. This pattern of behavior has drawn the attention of U.S. law enforcement, echoing a previous case where individuals were prosecuted for using military insider information on Polymarket.
