Pirate Wires : X: @autismcapital , @austen , @ntmoney , @iterintellectus , @tszzl , @brandongorrell , @micsolana , and @frans__arthur X: @autismcapital : 🚨 The entire Polymarket piece is available for free in the post. Shoutout to Mike Solana and Pirate Wires for feeling this was important enough to publish beyond the paywall and for being transparent about ALL conflicts of interest. Excellent reporting. Disgusting situation. Austen Allred / @austen : this is crazy Nick Tomaino / @ntmoney : Looks like Polymarket competitor Kalshi was paying influencers like Antonio Brown to smear Shayne after the FBI busted down his door LOSER ENERGY if true @AB84 [image] Vittorio / @iterintellectus : kalshi closing before the end of the year is at 63% on kashi Roon / @tszzl : horrible vibes on these kalshi execs. terrible name terrible platform terrible people @brandongorrell : after hearing from one source we spoke to for this story, i'm convinced that far more narratives are paid for/ astroturfed and laundered through huge networks of social media influencers than i would have ever imagined. in retrospect, that's obvious, and i was naive. Mike Solana / @micsolana : as I wrote in the editor's note to this piece, we are entering totally uncharted territory. an important story, and I do think the first of its kind. in a fragmented media landscape, this is the future of businesses at war. Rasmus F.A. Lindman / @frans__arthur : Standard competitive tactics. If your enemy is in deep trouble, it's a good idea to help them go deeper
