Nigel Farage aide George Cottrell bets US war will last four more months

headline, Nigel Farage-Aid George Cottrell bets US War will last four more months.

Published at 6.55 pm, March 10, 2026, Nigel Farage-Aid George Cottrell is betting $41,000

that the US War with Iran will last for another four months,

despite Reformed UK calling for an end to the conflict.

When Israel and the US attacked Iran in February, Farage criticized UK Prime Minister

Kier Starmer for not allowing the US access to its military bases. Reformed maintained its position

that the US-led war should be backed by the UK before the party you turned this week.

Indeed, Reformed politician Robert Generick called for the war to end as soon as possible,

because of its potential negative impact on the UK economy. Farage added today that the UK

should stay out of the war, but only because of perceived shortcomings in the country's defensive

capabilities following a drone attack in Cyprus. However, despite this change in direction

from the party, Cottrell was betting between March 7 and 9 that a ceasefire between the US and

Iran wouldn't happen before June 30, 2026. Crypto-investigator Zach XBT claimed with

high confidence that Cottrell is the owner of the account G-Cottrell 9-3. Read more. Reformed

UK insider George Cottrell tied to Trump Polymarket Betts worth millions. The Polymarket

Betts stands to win $123,000 if the US keeps up its war against Iran for another four months.

The Betts market, however, doesn't seem to agree, and his wager faces a current unrealized loss

of minus $6,240. Nigel Farage says Cottrell is like a son to me.

Cottrell, who has reportedly been Farage's right-hand man for years, was convicted of wire fraud

in March 2017 after he was caught agreeing to launder drug trafficking proceeds.

The financier lived in Montenegro, where he was accused of illegal political financing and was

investigated over a crypto ATM's usage. An avid gambler, he reportedly lost 20 million euros,

$23 million, in a single poker game while in the country. However, Cottrell's recent

Polymarket Betts, including on Starmer's departure, US strikes against Iran, and the vote share

of New York's newly elected mayor, Zoran Mamdani, have lost over $800,000.

his losses pale in comparison to his previous $13.2 million win on Donald Trump's election in 2024.

Crypto billionaire funded Farage's Trump lobbying efforts. Cottrell is just one strand in Farage's

web of crypto connections, which now includes the UK's former chancellor quasi-quarteng

and his Bitcoin holdings firm in which Farage just invested 215,000 pounds, $289,000.

One of Reform's biggest backers is Tether Shareholder Christopher Harborn.

Last week, he took his donations to Farage's Reform UK to over 22 million pounds, $29.6 million.

The Guardian has also linked Harborn to a private jet that was used to fly Farage to the Chagos

Islands in late February. Read more. Tether Shareholder was Boris Johnson's advisor in Ukraine

report. The trip was meant to reinforce Reform's position against the UK government's deal to

transfer sovereignty of the island to Mauritius, while continuing to lease a military base there for

another 99 years. Farage was flown to the Maldives, but failed to reach the Chagos Islands after

the UK military turned him away. He then attempted to talk with Trump about the deal at his Mar-a-Lago

Mansion last week. However, the two never actually met. Beyond Harborn's investments in Tether,

he's also the largest shareholder of military firm Kinetq. Kinetq's US arm has secured multiple

US Army contracts over the last year. It was awarded part of a $4 billion contract for military

surveillance systems, given $41 million to develop counter drone technology, and contracted to

develop new target acquisition systems. The firm also secured million-pound contracts from the UK

under Boris Johnson's government. Despite the contracts earlier this year, Reuters reported that

the firm is restructuring its US division due to operational and profitability challenges

stemming from geopolitical uncertainty and shifting procurement cycles. Got a tip?
