AI Summary

Polymarket has removed a prediction market related to the U.S. military's rescue of two airmen after an F-15E fighter jet was shot down in Iran. Political pressure stemmed from comments by Rep. Seth Moulton, who criticized the betting on such a serious event, calling it 'DISGUSTING.' Polymarket stated that the market did not meet internal integrity standards and emphasized they do not profit from geopolitical markets. This incident highlights increasing scrutiny and legislative efforts aimed at regulating prediction markets in the U.S.
