Just saw this wild story about a U.S. Army green beret getting arrested for placing like $400,000 in bets on Polymarket predicting a Venezuela raid that he was literally involved in. So basically insider trading but on a crypto prediction market? That's actually insane. The guy was essentially betting on an outcome he had direct knowledge of because he was part of the operation. Makes you think about how these decentralized prediction platforms are supposed to work when people with actual insider info can just throw money at outcomes they already know. Not sure if this makes prediction markets look sketchy or just shows how any market can be gamed when people have unfair advantages. What do you all think - is this a Polymarket security issue or just a regular insider trading case that happened to use crypto?
