FBI raided the home of Shayne Coplan the chief executive of the predictive betting site Polymarket. He was instructed to give the agents his phone and other electronic gadgets. Polymaket felt that this raid was a retaliation by the Joe Biden administration for the betting platform's accurate predictions of the outcome of the elections.
But the Department of Justice claimed that Polymarket is under investigation for allegedly allowing US-based users to bet on the site. Polymarket doesn't have permission to operate bets and predictions in the US but users usually invade the prohibition using VPNs.
If I can give an opinion, it is better indeed for gambling sites not to get involved in politics, in my opinion the raid cannot be separated from the smell of politics, especially since Polymarket not on the side of the government that is being led by Biden when conducting surveys, not only in America, even in all existing countries, politics is too dirty and the ruler only makes the state a tool to destroy every party that is considered to be in the way of it.
We know that Polymarket has been active in America for a long time and so far there has been no problem with them, so why are they currently considered problematic after the poll is conducted, isn't that strange?
I think the statement from the Department of Justice regarding the raid is a pretext to seek justification to preserve the reputation of the government, so believe me that is not an honest reason in my opinion.
