Elon Musk and Brian Armstrong have both criticised this raid calling it an attack on political opponents of the present administration. Most people think that this attack was because the government thinks that Polymaket's polls that showed overwhelming support for Donald Trump contributed to his victory.
Do you think gambling platforms should avoid political events?
I do not think that the FBI did anything wrong by raiding the house of the CEO because he might have done some illegal things with his betting platform. After the investigation and he is found to be innocent, he will be left alone. The FBI are just doing their job because of information that they received. We are in a time that influence is a big market and the influence of the site could have made others to change their mind and vote for trump because people do not like to be on the losing end of anything but just because of this incident, I do not think is worth asking gambling platform to avoid involving in election bets. The sites are their for people to vote and try to make money with their choices. Gambling sites are welcome but they should not be cheaters.
