Allegations of betting windfall in US-Iran war: Is Trump's son an investor? 'They are getting insider information...'

As the war that began with US and Israeli attacks leaves 26 days behind, money is being made from the crisis, in which thousands of civilians have lost their lives, particularly in America.

According to a report by NTV, bets were placed days in advance regarding the attack carried out by the US on Iran on February 28. Some accounts that correctly predicted the date before the attack even occurred earned more than 1 million dollars.

A CRITICAL NAME ON THE PLATFORM: TRUMP'S SON

One of the important points regarding the issue is that the son of United States President Donald Trump, who bears the same name, is among the investors of this platform.

CEASEFIRE PREDICTIONS STAND OUT

One of the topics that attracts the most interest and where the flow of money is concentrated on the platform is predictions regarding when a ceasefire will be achieved in the war in Iran. Millions of dollars in bets have been placed under this heading.

A significant portion of users have taken positions that the ceasefire will take place on December 31, that is, at the end of the year.

ANONYMOUS ACCOUNTS CREATE CONTROVERSY

The fact that the accounts trading on the platform are anonymous makes it difficult to identify them. Experts point out that this situation is open to serious abuse.

IT expert Osman Demircan points to the possibility of bets being used in the financing of the war:

"If you are the one starting the war, and you are the one making the decisions regarding the course of the war, as a result, when you spread this to a betting environment, you will actually be the winner because bets will be placed in line with the decisions you make."

SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTION MOVEMENTS

Another element that draws attention is that some users carry out high-value transactions before critical developments.

According to experts, this picture strengthens the possibility of "insider information flow." In this context, the question "Is Donald Trump Junior getting information from his father?" has been brought to the agenda.

According to Osman Demircan, there are winners who act as if they know the course of the war in advance:

"The fact that there is a Trump connection within the institution and that the bets are based directly on the war and the tactics in the war already gives us a very serious clue that information is being transferred. If you are the one managing the war, you have all kinds of information about the course of the war..."
