If I'm an insider with 100% confidence, I'll take all offers at a certain price as long as I can afford it. Similar story for lower levels of confidence (but still inside info). There won't necessarily be any left for you to copy at a viable price.

You might not have enough money to drain the order book.

And there's always a chance things go wrong, even with inside information. It would be unwise to go all in.

The examples didn’t look like they’ve completely emptied the orderbook

therefore, the polymarket betting odds will reflect the truth - even if that info is a secret that nobody else but the insider knows. And if this is the case, then even an outsider could make use of the odds as a source of info which would ensure that market efficiency (which is about the flow of information) is high.

So what's wrong with insider trading again?

Past performance is not an indicator of future performance.

Shouldn't it be if you suspect they are executed by an insider?
