How is this legal?? Someone just made a fortune betting on the exact date the U.S. would bomb Iran, placing their wagers hours before the first missiles hit Tehran, on a platform where Donald Trump Jr. sits on the advisory board.

Six freshly created Polymarket accounts raked in roughly $1 million in profit  by betting the U.S. would strike Iran by February 28,  the precise day Trump launched his bombing campaign. Most of these wallets were funded within 24 hours of the attack and purchased shares for about a dime apiece  just hours before explosions lit up Tehran.

One account called “Magamyman” turned an $87,000 wager into over half a million dollars.

Now here’s where it gets filthy. Donald Trump Jr. sits on Polymarket’s advisory board, and his firm 1789 Capital poured a major investment into the platform  last year. That investment was valued in the double-digit millions . Meanwhile, the Trump administration shut down both the DOJ and CFTC investigations into Polymarket  that had been opened under Biden.

So to recap: The president’s son advises and profits from a betting platform where anonymous users with apparent insider knowledge of military operations are cashing in on war. And the cops assigned to watch that platform? Sent home.

Senator Chris Murphy called it out plainly and is pushing legislation to ban this. Rep. Ritchie Torres has already introduced a bill that would bar federal officials from trading on prediction markets tied to government policy . Even TMZ reported that people at a DC restaurant were openly discussing the Iran bombing hours before it happened.

This isn’t a prediction market. It’s a war profiteering machine with a crypto veneer, and the Trump orbit built themselves a front-row seat.
