In a fresh statement, betting site Polymarket says it has “banned the accounts” of those involved in making threats against The Times of Israel’s military correspondent Emanuel Fabian.
As he reported earlier today, Polymarket users have threatened Fabian’s life to try to pressure him to make changes to his coverage of an Iranian missile impact in Israel, in order to win bets made on the site.
About an hour ago, a Polymarket spokesperson issued a statement to ToI condemning the threats.
Now the company posts on X: “We’ve banned the accounts for all involved & will pass their info to the relevant authorities.”
Fabian contacted Israel Police on Sunday and gave testimony earlier today. The police are investigating the matter.
Polymarket condemns the harassment & threats directed at Emanuel Fabian — or anyone else for that matter.
This behavior violates our Terms of Service & has no place on our platform. We've banned the accounts for all involved & will pass their info to the relevant authorities.
