U.S. authorities prepare case against service member over military action bets

Federal authorities are preparing to bring charges against a U.S. service member accused of betting on military action in prediction markets and making more than $1 million in profit. The individual has been under scrutiny since the spring and allegedly placed wagers tied to military strikes involving Iran and Venezuela. The matter is part of a broader set of investigations into service members who traded war-related contracts tied to the timing and outcome of military operations. Separately, U.S. authorities are also investigating a KPMG employee accused of betting that a company’s results would come in above what the broader market expected. The report was cited by Odaily.

Middle East tensions remained high, according to a report cited by ChainCatcher from Jinshi. Iran’s military said it had recently used a new type of drone, while Israeli officials said the standoff had reached its peak. The U.S. military has deployed heavy transport helicopters to the region and advised American citizens to prepare for possible evacuation.

Jin10: U.S. commander warns naval assets are insufficient to defend Israel

According to Jin10, Alexus Grynkewich, commander of U.S. European Command, privately warned the Pentagon this week that he does not have enough naval power to protect Israel from ballistic missile attacks. The report said the situation highlights the strain that the ongoing war with Iran is placing on U.S. military resources. Grynkewich said that unless he receives another Navy destroyer, he will be forced to choose between homeland defense in the United States and defense support for Israel. ChainCatcher carried the brief as a 7x24 news alert. No additional details were provided in the item beyond the warning, the reported pressure on military resources, and the stated trade-off involving the allocation of a destroyer.
