Good luck proving it.

Yeah, exactly. Far easier to prove and to even get the idea to investigate that person in the first place.
The markets make their own TOS and define the burden of proof needed to overturn a bet. They don't want tampering to risk their cash cow, so I'd imagine they are going to be proactive.
