Here's where Polymarket inside traders think the war is going next

Two decades ago, Barbra Streisand tried to suppress the publication of a little-known photo of her Malibu home and ended up making headlines around the world. Now the Streisand effect, as that phenomenon has come to be known, is in full effect at Polymarket, where anonymous accounts on the prediction market platform have veered into the news after making seriously outsize profits accurately betting on a war in Iran.

Fittingly, one of those is BarbaraStreisand. Then there is Magamyman and Planktonbets. All three placed suspiciously well-timed trades on the US striking Iran before the first bombs fell on Tehran on February 28.
