Polymarket reportedly refers accounts over suspected military insider trading to DOJ
Polymarket reportedly referred dozens of accounts to the US Department of Justice over potential insider trading involving military information, before outside researchers publicly identified suspicious activity in war-related markets. The company has not been accused of wrongdoing; the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is investigating the platform, and a separate DOJ case alleges a US soldier used classified information to place Polymarket wagers.
The referrals and investigations put the platform’s handling of suspected use of non-public military information under scrutiny.
