Prediction market trader 'Magamyman' made $553,000 on death of Iran's supreme leader It's the latest trade drawing scrutiny on the popular prediction market site for appearing to show an insider making profits on military secrets.

"It's insane this is legal," Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) wrote on X. "People around Trump are profiting off war and death." #greed #iran

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as “Votors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

Trump: "Fake polls -- I got one today. I saw one today that I'm at 40%. I'm not at 40%. I'm at much higher than that. I'd love to run against anybody. The real polls say 'you'd kill everybody, it wouldn't even be close.'"
