Online betting platform Polymarket has finally stopped accepting wagers on when U.S. warplane crew members, shot down in Iran, might be rescued, promising an investigation into how such a market ever appeared. According to The Guardian, this move comes after significant criticism, particularly from a federal lawmaker who called the bets “DISGUSTING.”
The controversy erupted after Representative Seth Moulton, a Massachusetts Democrat with a distinguished service record in the United States Marine Corps during the Iraq war, publicly slammed Polymarket. Moulton, who earned two Bronze Star medals for his service between 2003 and 2008, took to X to express his outrage.
