One Polymarket user reportedly won $150,000 after making suspiciously accurate predictions about strikes last year
An Israeli military reservist and a civilian have been charged with using classified information to place highly profitable bets on Polymarket related to military operations against Iran last year, according to local officials.
In a joint statement on Thursday, Israel’s domestic security agency, Israel police, and the Defense Ministry said: “several suspects were recently arrested, including a civilian and reservists, on suspicion of conducting bets on the Polymarket website regarding the occurrence of military operations, based on classified information to which the reservists were exposed by virtue of their roles in the army.”
The officials added that following an investigation, the prosecution decided to indict a civilian and a reservist “on criminal charges for serious security offenses, as well as bribery offenses and obstruction of justice.” The statement did not disclose their rank or security clearance.
