Handelen met voorkennis wordt lucratiever en ook toegankelijk voor de gewone man door de groei van zogenaamde 'prediction markets.' Misbruik volgt snel.
Een ongewone, abrupte stijging van de temperatuur in Parijs begin april werd correct voorspeld; later bleek dat iemand - met een föhn? - de thermometer op luchthaven Charles de Gaulle eventjes had opgewarmd.
In de VS is de eerste soldaat gearresteerd die de Amerikaanse inval in Venezuela correct had 'voorspeld.' Hij verdiende volgens de telastelegging 400.000 dollar op Polymarket.
De president van de Verenigde Staten

Donald Trump vermaakte zich vrijdagavond met wat appjes versturen. Het beste is om ze maar gewoon op een rij te zetten, zoals de onvermoeibare historicus Heather Cox Richardson in haar e-mails doet (abonneer u vooral):
'Late on Friday night, President Donald J. Trump took to social media. At 11:03 he posted an AI-generated image of himself, alongside Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, all shirtless, along with an unidentifiable woman in a bikini, appearing to be relaxing in a swimming pool. But the “swimming pool” was the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
'Then, at 11:04, Trump posted an image of First Lady Melania Trump grinning at the press conference Trump held after the incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, when he said that incident proved he needed his proposed ballroom for his security.
'Then, at 11:13, Trump posted an image of House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who is Black, holding a baseball bat. The caption calls Jeffries “low IQ,” “a THUG,” and “a danger to our Country.”
'Then, at 11:15, he posted an image of himself smiling and holding six wild cards from the game Uno. The caption read, “I HAVE ALL THE CARDS.”
'Then, at 11:22, he posted a profile image of himself in gold.
'Then, at 11:26, he posted an image showing him standing near Mt. Rushmore, with the angle arranged to make his head the fifth sculpture on the mountain, so from left to right they were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, and Donald Trump.
'Then, at 11:32, he posted an image of himself and the first lady.
'Then, at 11:37, he posted an image of himself and King Charles III.
'Then, at 11:40, he posted an image of what appeared to be the reflecting pool full of algae next to one that appeared to be the reflecting pool clean and with a bright blue color. Above the dirty image was the label “Hussein Obama,” and below it, the caption “Photo taken Sept[ember] 29, 2012”; the clean one was labeled with “Trump” and “Coming Soon.” Over the two together, the caption read: “This is what our Country was before, and after, “TRUMP!”
'Then, at 11:41, he posted an AI image of the reflecting pool appearing bright blue, under the caption “American Flag Blue.”
'Then, at 11:45, he posted another AI image of the reflecting pool appearing bright blue under the caption “American Flag Blue.”'
