Online gamblers made a killing from auspiciously opportune bets placed in the days and hours right before President Donald Trump took the U.S. to war in the Middle East.
More than a dozen anonymous accounts, identified by the Financial Times, placed a total of $66,993 on Polymarket, a crypto-based online prediction marketplace, wagering the White House would launch an attack against Iran by Saturday.
Crypto-wallets linked to the accounts placed almost all of their bets within a 24-hour window before the first bombs fell that morning. The users behind the wallets walked away with combined total profits of $330,000.
