      Imagine having literal top-secret military clearance for an international black op and your first instinct is to go full degenerate and yolo it on polymarket. honestly, the man belongs here. one of us.

      Sorry mr elite operator soldier, inside trading is only for the big boys high in goverment or business. Thank you for your service though and your injuries won’t be service related.

      I somewhat feel significantly more upbeat about insider trading by someone whose life is put on the line (semi-involuntarily) trading on the event where their life is being put on the line…

      …Than when someone who orders others to their possible death, does the same insider trading.

      I‘m confused. I thought trading on the presidents every fart was currently the most american thing you can do? This guy is definitely a hero! Or did he forget to pay his bribes and praise the size of Trumps dick? Then he is of course a damned criminal. Until he repents and pays and praises, at which point he will be a hero again.

      Fall guy, he’ll get a slap on the wrist as the token “look we punished someone” so everyone else can keep making money.

      It beats me why anyone without insider knowledge would trade on polymarket.

      I mean you know you don’t have insider info but you know the people you’re betting against might have so why even bother? The best case is you’re rolling a dice, the worst that the other guy has loaded the dice. What’s the upside?

      At least the stock market is somewhat regulated.

    7. Lol, what about everyone else that is betting huge amounts the market before certain tweets?
