Polymarket, the largest crypto prediction market in the world, is under fire after bettors allegedly sent death threats to Times of Israel military reporter Emanuel Fabian.
A Bombing Report Turned Into A Bombing Of ThreatsNo injuries are reported in Iran’s latest ballistic missile attack on Israel, the fourth today.
One missile struck an open area just outside Beit Shemesh, first responders say and footage shows.
Fabian defended himself citing IDF information and footage of the blast, arguing that the explosion matched a full warhead detonation, not small interceptor debris:
I told Aviv that, from what I know from the Israeli military, the impact outside Beit Shemesh was indeed a missile warhead and not just fragments. I added: “The footage also shows a massive explosion of hundreds of kilograms of explosives from the warhead. Normally, a fragment does not produce such an explosion.”
Enraged Polymarket bettors, of course, didn’t take the clarification into account.
