Report: Polymarket probes suspicious last-minute bets on Netanyahu election win

Polymarket is investigating dozens of suspicious bets placed on Netanyahu's election win, with hundreds of new accounts wagering just before polls closed on Tuesday. Data analysis flagged 'massive inflows of YES buys on fresh wallets' within 24 hours; one wallet created 18 minutes before polls closed placed a $14,000 bet and cashed out for $42,000. The platform announced surveillance efforts to detect market manipulation; previous incidents include an Israeli reservist and civilian charged in February for using classified information to place bets on Polymarket.
