It’s “grand political theater at its worst,” the source told The Post. “They could have asked his lawyer for any of these things. Instead, they staged a so-called raid so they can leak it to the media and use it for obvious political reasons.”
Coplan was not provided any reason for the incident, but the source said they expect it is political retribution since Polymarket accurately predicted Trump’s win – not traditional polls.
The government is likely trying to accuse Polymarket of market manipulation and rigging its polls in favor of Trump, the source said.
Right, because everyone’s out to get the goofball nobody’s ever heard of. 🙄 Traditional polls? The fuck’s that even supposed to mean? And “rigging its polls in favor of Trump” as if some fringe betting site would have had any impact whatsoever on actual election polls?
If this is even real, and if they “predicted” the outcome accurately then they’re not being picked on, they’re being investigated to find out if there was some chicanery going on in the real polls that this douchecanoe found out about and exploited. Which would be illegal af from multiple angles.
I mean the betting odds for presidential elections are crazy accurate. This isn’t poker, being good at statistics isn’t illegal.
The CIA and NSA always have bets running on what will happen, it’s a very accurate way to estimate actual outcome.
See there’s this pesky little difference between asking his attorney for his phone and seizing it in a raid.
This way, he didn’t have time to delete his messages and emails.
It’s almost like the FBI is doing its job correctly.
Exactly!
Like they did with Epstein 🤡
That was trump’s DoJ and his lackey as the head of the investigation.
DOGE will abolish the FBI, good luck 🤞🏻
Unironically I would not know whether to cheer or boo
In the wise words of Propagandhi… with friends like these, who the fuck needs COINTELPRO
Of course it was political retribution and not the whole unregistered securities and gambling market thing.
Well you see, it’s not wrong if the right people do it ;)
Laws that protect but do not bind
The incident occured just a week after Polymarket successfully predicted President-elect Donald Trump’s win.
you misspelled manipulated the market so shady people could pump and dump
Just remember, they decide what is legal and what is not and when it is and when it is not. If they want to throw you under the bus, they will either find something you have done that violates their laws or they will make one up and use that to railroad you.
Three felonies a day is 15 years old and only more true than ever.
Yep
