Google安全工程师涉嫌在Polymarket内幕交易被捕并遭起诉

Odaily Planet Daily News: According to court documents released by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, Google security engineer Michele Spagnuolo has been arrested and charged with insider trading on Polymarket, allegedly using material non-public information to place bets on markets related to Google user search results.



The indictment alleges that Spagnuolo used internal Google tools to track the list of the most searched-for individuals in 2025 and transferred approximately 3.8 million USDC to a Polymarket address. His associated account, AlphaRaccoon, placed a bet on D4vd becoming one of the most searched-for individuals in late November just hours after accessing the internal tool.



The indictment further states that AlphaRaccoon transferred 5 million USDC.e from a Polymarket account to a wallet, then moved the funds through exchange services and privacy tools, with a portion of the funds eventually reaching an account at a payment processing institution in Italy. Spagnuolo is alleged to have profited over $1.2 million from the relevant trades. He currently faces charges of commodities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering.
