Who? Because if you have evidence of military secrets being leaked through prediction markets, we actually need that journalistic record maintained.

I don't think the parent mentioned military secrets in particular? But the insider trading is already well documented e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cge0grppe3po

There's plenty of evidence of it happening, if you consider the odds of surges of pre-market trading of oil futures 20 minutes before Trump tweets on Iran happening coincidentally. The actual finding of who's who has to be done by the U.S. law enforcement, who aren't really interested.

I don't know who, but there are a lot of news articles about high volume oil trading activities shortly before publicly military action.

You don’t think the Trump admin leaked any secrets at all? No chats on signal? Nothing like that?
