In what way did Polymarket "successfully predict" the election. Unless you're actually picking the winner you haven't made a prediction of any kind. Posting information that shows Trump has a 60% chance of winning is not only not a prediction, but it's also arguably "correct" no matter which candidate wins. None of the pollsters or betting sites actually made a prediction.

Creating a conspiracy right out of the gate. Bold move. If there was going to be a push en masse to claim a rigged election, it would have happened a week ago or even before the election as the Dems would have claimed that cheating was already taken place and the fix was in. Glad we didn't do that

unless polymarket's systems were directly tied to Dominion systems all over the country, this is a nothing burger except for those involved.

Polymarket odds reporting did nothing to effect outcome. But it did have more influence than the $160K Russia spent on obscure Twitter bots and FB ads in 2016. Yet the entire country went thru 6 years of nonstop investigations and gaslighting on "Russia Collusion".

Is it all that unusual for the FBI to go after on-line gambling organizations?

WTH are they accused of doing? The article is speculative at best on the reason.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14079677/FBI-seizes-Polymarket-CEO-Shayne-Coplans-phone-Predicted-trump-win.html

Quote:
The FBI has seized the CEO of Polymarket's phone and electronics after the election-betting platform successfully forecast Donald Trump's win.

Shayne Coplan, 26, was targeted at his Soho home during a dawn raid on Wednesday, sources told the New York Post.

The insider blasted the seizure as 'grand political theater at its worst'.

'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,' the source said.

Coplan was reportedly not arrested or given a reason for the raid, but it is thought to be linked to his accurate predictions which outsmarted traditional polls.

'This is obvious political retribution by the outgoing administration against Polymarket for providing a market that correctly called the 2024 presidential election,' the source added.

Polymarket signaled for weeks that Trump would win, and the previously low-profile site turned out to be right - despite raising eyebrows of many experts.

Coplan said in a post on X after the results were announced: 'Make no mistake, Polymarket single-handedly called the election before anything else. The global truth machine is here, powered by the people.'
This is intimidation of wrong think by a source they can't control.

Quote:
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.
I hope Trump burns the FBI to the ground!

I bet this has nothing to do with any fraud.

The FBI wants their hands on the software and algorithms used to make the predictions.
