These polymarkets need to be declared illegal, and all money returned, win or lose. Those that won get to keep their winnings.

    And the people who run this shit need to go to jail. I'm sure a lot of them would rat out their corrupt buddies for a reduced sentence.

    Trump's son is on the board at Kalshi and consults for polymarket or something to that effect. It was seriously the "no one can stop us we'll just claim we're regulated by CTFC which your dad controls" grift.
