"Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, a Marine Corps combat veteran, called betting on outcomes of the Iran war a 'dystopian death market.' He expressed outrage over people betting on the safety of missing service members."
"Polymarket responded, saying, 'We took this market down immediately as it does not meet our integrity standards. It should not have been posted, and we are investigating how this slipped through our internal safeguards.'"
