"Seth Moulton described Polymarket's acceptance of bets on the downed pilots' fate as DISGUSTING, emphasizing that their safety was unknown while people were betting on their rescue."
"Polymarket's X account responded to Moulton, stating, 'We took this market down immediately as it does not meet our integrity standards,' and promised an investigation into the oversight."
"Moulton highlighted that Polymarket was still accepting hundreds of other war-related wagers, criticizing the platform's integrity standards as severely lacking."
Polymarket halted wagers on the rescue of US warplane crew members shot down in Iran following backlash from Congressman Seth Moulton. Moulton criticized the platform's acceptance of bets on the pilots' fate as disgusting. The Iranian military had shot down an F-15E Strike Eagle jet, and while rescue efforts were ongoing, Polymarket allowed users to bet on the timing of rescues. Moulton demanded the platform deactivate other war-related wagers, questioning its integrity standards. Polymarket acknowledged the issue and promised to investigate how the market was created.
