#预测市场 Prediction markets are in trouble again, and this time it's really outrageous. A trader on Polymarket bet $32,500 on the downfall of Maduro and made over $4,000 in less than 24 hours, with a return of over 1200%. The key point is that this guy used non-public information to trade and was also exposed for having funding sources linked to a certain big shot. This operation is a blatant insider trading.

What's even more shocking is that this incident has caught the attention of the U.S. House of Representatives, and some lawmakers are already preparing legislation to crack down. Wintermute's CEO also came out to condemn this behavior as unethical—knowing it's a guaranteed profit but still engaging in speculation, essentially exploiting retail investors who lack information.

Now, prediction markets are facing a regulatory storm. Platforms claim that their rules prohibit insider trading, but clearly, they can't prevent these people. That's why I've always said that the crypto circle should view hot topics rationally. Once insider trading becomes normalized, the entire market is doomed. It's not worth risking everything for those small gains; the risks always outweigh the rewards.
