NPR: "...A $400,000 profit on Maduro's capture raises insider trading questions on Polymarket..."

@ai6yr imagine starting a war just to corrupt a bet on polymarket...

@kate @ai6yr To be fair, I think they just did it to try to gain control over oil resources and a foothold for more invasions of other oil resources nearby.

But there is no room for doubt that they saw it as a chance to also personally profit along the way.

@ai6yr the unregulated insider trading platform has insider trading on it

@nazokiyoubinbou @ai6yr yes yes absolutely, i was ignoring that part because the polymarket part is so stupid on it's own. of course they try to extract as much money from it as they can

@kate @nazokiyoubinbou LOL this is undoubtedly someone connected with the regime who just couldn't resist putting down a side bet (small fish side bet), BECAUSE FREE MONEY CMON!! 🤪

@ai6yr @kate That reminds me of how Trump has insiders who start doing trades right before Trump announces new tariffs and sales right after he announces that he changed his mind.

Of course that is quite illegal, but laws have to be enforced to mean anything...

@ai6yr
Gambling fools and their money deserved to get fleeced.
