According to CNBC, Goldman Sachs prohibits employees from trading contracts related to the bank's own events, elections, financial markets, macroeconomic data, and geopolitics. Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America are developing or updating policies that explicitly prohibit employees from conducting predictive market trading. The CFTC and the Department of Justice have accused a Google employee of profiting approximately $1.2 million from trading "annual search" related contracts on Polymarket using non-public information.
