Yes. The market facilitates payment for crime, e.g., you can't buy a company's secrets from employees directly but in a free predictions market leakers would be paid. Looks like a cynical way to expand the scope of what you can buy with gobs of money, beyond the current boundaries of law, decency and fair play.

Conversely though it creates an incentive for information to flow to everyone in the market instead of just to insiders. Despite shitty motives, it seems like it forces more transparency which seems like a net positive.
