Good move, assuming it wasnt already illegal
On Polymarket and Kalshi betting: "Our enemies watch movements in these markets,” Hegseth wrote in a memo banning military personnel from using nonpublic information to bet on U.S. military operations. "When an American Service member, intelligence professional, or other Department civilian engages in a financial transaction on a military outcome, they create a signal.” @CBSNews @JimLaPorta cbsnews.com/news/hegseth-bet…
