The $1.5 Billion Bet — How Wall Street Is Trading on War Secrets
thewartimereport.com
A $1.5 billion Polymarket trade placed before Trump's war announcement, open calls to seize Iran's oil, and a $200 billion Pentagon request. Three threads, one investigation.

Our research team documented three investigation threads:

  1. 19 members of Congress bought defense stocks before the strikes began (SEC filings)
  2. A $1.5 billion Polymarket trade was placed before Trump’s energy strike pause announcement
  3. Trump told the FT he wants to “take the oil” as the Pentagon requests $200B

    I’d find that honestly the least objectionable option. Obviously trumps not clean on opsec, so Barron probably has a pretty clear idea of what’s going on, but at least he’s not profiting off of his own elected position.

    Not good, to be clear, but least bad.
