  It's discouraging that the current administration would seek a last-ditch effort to go after companies they deem to be associated with political opponents.  We are deeply committed to being non-partisan, and today is no different, but the incumbents should do some self-reflecting…

  [🌲] FBI seizes Polymarket CEO's phone, electronics after betting platform predicts Trump win according to sources: NYP

• @ryansadams Ryan Sξan Adams on x

  Being reported that the FBI raided Polymarket founders home this morning & seized his phone and electronics. They gave him no reason. Polymarket predicted Trump would win. This looks like political retribution and is actually bone chilling. WTF is this administration doing. [imag…

  Leaked email shows Kalshi growth exec @indsc2 tried to plant a news story containing false claims about wash trading and money laundering on Polymarket Kalshi appears to be spreading misinformation about Poly behind the scenes. [image]

  i still can't believe the obama / warren / harris doj was moronic enough to kick in the door of the polymarket founder you simply couldn't paint a more graphic political retribution picture the end of their illegal overreach is nigh

  @brian_armstrong This seems messed up

• @ryansadams Ryan Sξan Adams on x

  @brian_armstrong If they're trying to radicalize moderates It's working I'm tired of seeing our builders and my friends in crypto get arrested, raided, lawfared, and harassed by government officials

• @seanmdav Sean Davis on x

  The Polymarket founder was a Harris-Walz donor, but they're going after him anyway, probably because he didn't sufficiently rig the platform against Trump like the corrupt intel state wanted. https://nypost.com/...

  Let's not forget this is the same administration that empowered FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried before the crypto industry on X exposed the fraud. Polymarket is on the right side of history. [image]

• @adamscochran Adam Cochran on x

  @brian_armstrong And there we go. It's a probe on potentially knowingly allowing US users, just like we saw with foreign exchanges. Nothing to do with politics or who it predicted.

• @trading_axe @trading_axe on x

  This is the single most bullish thing that could ever happen to Polymarket. I give it a small window of time before Trump is on national news backing Shayne. FBI are literal noobs. Retar Dio.

• @ryansadams Ryan Sξan Adams on x

  I consider myself politically moderate & anti-authoritarian. Last week felt like a boot lifting off our necks - that's how oppressive the current regime has on crypto Today I see another crypto founder & friend raided by the FBI - no clear reason Feels like the boot is back

• @nkulw Noah Kulwin on x

  Well everyone could have seen this coming

• @rargulati Raghav on x

  Brian's right, Streisand effect will play for Polymarket (and crypto). It's like trying to censor speech - the more you try, the more people want to know what was said.

• @brian_armstrong Brian Armstrong on x

  What the fuck is wrong with this administration This will backfire - they just made Polymarket even more powerful

• @pledditor @pledditor on x

  Funny anecdote: I noticed that Polymarket sponsors @TheYoungTurks, which is a YouTube channel focused almost exclusively on American politics. When @cenkuygur shills them, he rarely, if ever, discloses that Americans are actually geofenced from participating

• @pronounced_kyle Christian Keil on x

  We might get more data on Shayne actually doing something wrong For now this feels like the FBI raiding the home of a weatherman because he won't stop forecasting rain

• @danprimack Dan Primack on x

  2/ Details are still very fuzzy, but this “investigation” (putting in quotes, because FBI not commenting) began before the election. Obviously the raid came after.
