Prediction markets are being highlighted as a potential platform for intelligence gathering, with claims that their development is still in its infancy. A recent incident involving the U.S. military's capture of the Venezuelan president has brought attention to this concept. An address created just before the operation reportedly placed bets on related events, yielding a profit of $400,000.
The idea is that prediction markets could serve as a bounty platform for intelligence. For instance, if the Venezuelan president bet $1 million that he wouldn't be captured within a month, any sudden large bets on the contrary could indicate a leak of his location. This system could incentivize various individuals, from delivery drivers to restaurant staff, to provide intelligence without the need for complex networks, simply by offering financial rewards.
