Allegedly, over 150 Polymarket wallets earned $8 million betting on inside US military data with 97.2% win rate
↗
A study found that more than 150 Polymarket International wallets may have placed bets using non-public U.S. military information, generating about $8 million with an average win rate of 97.2 % and prompting similar bets from others.
If prediction-market platforms can be fed privileged military data, it raises concerns about data provenance and the need for robust audit and anti-fraud mechanisms in the underlying databases. Engineers must ensure that transaction logs can detect abnormal win rates and that access controls prevent leakage of sensitive information.
