Polymarket has removed wagers related to the rescue of Air Force service members shot down over Iran following criticism from Congressman Seth Moulton. Moulton condemned the betting as 'DISGUSTING' in a social media post.
A Democratic congressman criticized Polymarket for allowing bets on when the U.S. would confirm the rescue of downed Air Force service members. Representative Seth Moulton expressed his outrage, stating, 'They could be your neighbor, a friend, a family member. And people are betting on whether or not they’ll be saved.' Following the backlash, Polymarket took down the wagers.
