Online betting site Polymarket came under fire Friday for allowing users to gamble on the date that U.S. pilots downed over Iran would be rescued or recovered — and, faced with criticism, pulled this option from their platform.

The bet, which stated "U.S. confirms pilots rescued by...?" and allowed people to buy yes or no for April 3 or 4, was flagged by Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), himself a Marine combat veteran.

"There is an ongoing search and rescue operation for a missing American service member whose plane was shot down over Iran," wrote Moulton on X. "Their safety is unknown. They could be your neighbor, a friend, a family member. And people are betting on whether or not they'll be saved. This is DISGUSTING. Quick reminder too that @DonaldJTrumpJr is an investor in this dystopian death market and may have access to intelligence that isn't public yet."
