Breaking: FBI Agents Raid Polymarket CEO After Betting Site Predicts Trump Win

Report of the pre dawn FBI raid on betting site Polymarket CEO's home
just coming in, this has not hit the major news sources yet.

Federal agents seized the electronics of Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan early Wednesday morning. This comes just a week after the platform accurately predicted Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The raid, carried out at Coplan’s Soho residence around 6:00 a.m., reportedly involved law enforcement officials demanding access to his phone and other electronic devices.

This is going to be a can of worms. CEO not arrested, so
he could be under a surveillance warrant.

“This is grand political theater at its worst,” stated a source familiar with the situation, according to a New York Post report.

What could this lead to once all of the leads are followed?

Should we say it?

And...so it begins?

I keep telling people, the Government *hates* competition!

Well the polls were almost all wrong, indicating Harris
would win. But Polymarket favored Trump in the end,
even though it predicted Harris a few weeks prior.

It seemed to follow a different trajectory, suppose
one could say it was competing with the MSM narrative
that Harris was going to win.

I just can't help but think that that the PTB
have something up their sleeves, like last
time. Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

There where some rumblings about manipulation of the site by buy ups from the Harris campaign. From before the election too if I recall. Saw it on the Quartering and the host had been pretty skeptical of Polymarket. I'll look and see if I can find it on my history.

wait for it.....

they will discover ......

Russians were behind everything!!

They'll be using fake witnesses and altered data from the devices confiscated.

Yeah? If you find the links that would be awesome.

The timing of this...just feels like too much like
Alpha Bank pings.

Hope not!

So what if he predicted the win?
It's not like the rumblings form the left didn't realize Harris was doomed?!?!?!!??

LOL!

In separate investigations completed by the blockchain firms Chaos Labs and Inca Digital and shared exclusively with Fortune, analysts found that Polymarket activity exhibited signs of wash trading, a form of market manipulation where shares are bought and sold, often simultaneously and repeatedly, to create a false impression of volume and activity. Chaos Labs found that wash trading constituted around one-third of trading volume on Polymarket’s presidential market, while Inca Digital found that a “significant portion of the volume” on the market could be attributed to potential wash trading, according to its report.

Indeed, they had to know, their own internal polling
showed it was going to be a wipe out!

The raid fits though, it fits to a T the vindictive pattern
of lawfare against anyone and any company that stands
independent of the DS apparatchiks.

Biden's smile was creeping me out...he knows something.

Russians you say?
Like Pavel Durov maybe?
He’s now a French citizen all of a sudden, just like Clooney.
Interesting.

Making more and more sense of it now.

Coplan has - until now - stayed out of the limelight. But after his site - which invited users to bet money on a given outcome - managed to foreshadow the results of the November 5 US election, he has been the subject of praise from Elon Musk and American statistician Nate Silver. Silver - one of many experts to predict the election would be extremely close - was so impressed that he joined the company as an adviser.

So this site did nothing that Vegas betting pools did? As long as the French guy who bet $30 million got his winnings, who gives a sh!t. Have the feds explain how this is different than high frequency trading which opens both buy and sell trades?

a reply to: peter_kandra

Afaik, Feds did not give any information to Coplan,
and they have not issued any statement.
