Elizabeth Warren Says ‘Well-Timed Bets’ On Prediction Markets Ahead Of Iran Strikes Are Not Luck: ‘That Looks Like Insider Trading’

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called for an investigation into alleged insider trading on prediction markets on Tuesday, citing “well-timed bets” ahead of U.S. strikes on Iran.

That’s Not Luck, Says Warren

Warren wrote in an X post that some traders correctly anticipated U.S. strikes on Iran in February, prompting her to call for an investigation into the matter.

“That’s not luck. That looks like insider trading,” Warren said. “A handful of insiders should not be allowed to turn global crises into personal paydays.”
