Analysis Summary
The White House sent a March 24 memo warning staff against insider trading on prediction markets and oil futures, following a surge of suspiciously well-timed bets tied to the Iran war. The memo doesn't cite evidence of actual misconduct by officials, and the White House spokesman pushed back against suggestions they are — but multiple sources confirm the warning came in response to real trading activity that raised eyebrows. This is verified reporting from a credible source.
