Israeli Defense Reservist and Civilian Charged for Insider Betting on Polymarket

Multiple high-authority, credible news outlets and official statements consistently report that Israeli authorities have formally charged both an IDF reservist and a civilian over insider betting activities conducted on the Polymarket platform. Reports from the Wall Street Journal, Times of Israel, Financial Times, The Block, and Jerusalem Post agree on the core facts: the individuals leveraged classified military information to place bets, were identified by security agencies (Shin Bet), and were indicted for associated serious offenses including bribery and obstruction of justice. The coverage spans mainstream media, specialized finance/technology outlets, and corroborating summaries in independent discussion forums. The accounts are detailed and mutually consistent, with no credible contradictions or indications of misreporting, and they reference formal indictments rather than mere allegations. Given the alignment of multiple authoritative sources and the specificity of the charges described, the probability of the statement being true is very high.
