A new analysis of the site Polymarket shows that one trader made more than $300,000 betting on former President Biden’s pardons. Legal experts say it appears to have been a person with insider information.

Most of the profits discovered by the French analytics firm Bubblemaps came from a winning streak of bets placed in the final hours Biden was in office, when he pre-emptively pardoned Sen. Adam Schiff, former Rep. Liz Cheney and others.

Several major global events recently have led to suspected insider trading on Polymarket.
