A journalist received death threats from Polymarket bettors for reporting on the Iranian missile attack.

CoinFeed reported on March 17 that, according to The Block, Emanuel Fabian, a military journalist for The Times of Israel, revealed that he received death threats from bettors on Polymarket over a report he wrote about an Iranian missile attack. Fabian reported on March 10 that an Iranian missile struck an open area near the Israeli city of Beit Shemesh. A Polymarket contract predicting whether Iran would attack Israel on a certain day had over $14 million in bets; according to the rules, if the missile was intercepted, the "yes" result would not be triggered. Fabian said he received dozens of threatening emails, social media messages, and WhatsApp messages demanding he change the report to say the missile was intercepted, or they would "kill" him. Fabian refused to change the report, stating that it was based on information from Israeli aid services and the military, and that he had reported the matter to the police.
