    Wow… feels a lot like retribution. I know a lot of people lost money. The media is acting like Polymarket overinflated Trump’s chances of victory. If I’m not mistaken Polymarket was at somewhere around 30% odds of Trump winning the popular vote going into Election Day. So, they were actually understating his chances.

    Probably has more to do with it being illegal in the US than predicting a Trump win… geez…

    So if I am a Trump supporter but rob a bank the authorities can't arrest me otherwise its lawfare? What is this thread even about?

    Yeah that's how it works. If you get charged or arrested for anything and you're a Trump supporter, it's lawfare.

    Alternative title: Trumpers try very hard to determine the complex link between committing crimes openly and being investigated for committing crimes by law enforcement but unable to grasp such a difficult causal linkage.

    It probably was classic lib brain in the sense that they probably waited until after the election to raid them because they didn't want a right-wing media story about "election interference" unless part of their 3d chess plan was to get Trump elected then show them who's boss.

    He bears quite a physical resemblance to Sam Bankman-Freid. My guess is that his business ethics are probably similar to those of Bankman-Fried.

    Interestingly both the betting market and the exchange rely on crypto. Off-topic but I agree with Warren Buffett regarding cryptocurrencies.
