The editorial board of the "New York Post" newspaper called for an investigation into suspicious financial transactions carried out in the US during the war with Iran.
Modern.az reports that the newspaper writes that the fact that some transactions occurred precisely before the disclosure of important news during the military operation called "Epic Fury" strengthens the possibility of using insider information.
According to the information, "The New York Times" revealed that more than 150 accounts had bet in advance that the US would strike Iran "the next day," and these bets were made immediately before the first attacks. At the same time, it is reported that approximately 15 minutes before Donald Trump's statement on March 23 that the US would not strike Iran's energy facilities, nearly $600 million in oil futures transactions were conducted.
In addition, it is noted that in January, a large sum was bet on the detention of Nicolas Maduro through a newly opened account, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit. The newspaper emphasizes that "1789 Capital," a company associated with Trump, is one of the large investors of the "Polymarket" platform, and this fact may lead to political discussions.
The publication believes that even the possibility of individuals close to power profiting from the war can undermine public trust, and therefore, the US president should instruct institutions such as the SEC and CFTC to investigate these transactions.
