The bettor placed wagers totaling $33,934.34 between Dec. 27 and Jan. 3, coinciding with the classified operation’s timeline. Concerns have arisen about insider trading on prediction platforms like Polymarket, which allow users to bet on real-world events.

Is it a gambler if it is insider knowledge?

Pretty much everyone on Polymarket is mysterious.
400k is not exactly a huge score either, not in the sense that it would move the needle for when the strike happens.
But yeah prediction markets are about finding truth not making money for traders. So dont bet on stuff you dont think you have an edge on.
