    Here’s my thing…if Polymarket is just being used to pay bets that are obvious scams, eventually (read: real fuckin quick) Polymarket would shut that shit down. The mob don’t let cheaters into their casinos and win big every week. They break the guys thumbs, kneecaps, or maybe just off the guy.

    So it makes me think that Polymarket isn’t so much a legit betting rig, as it is a money washing service probably set up by trumps people. They pump the money into Polymarket behind the scenes, win big every week, and Polymarket funnels the money right back into their accounts. With a traceable paper trail to them free and clear from the IRS.

    I have no proof of this. It just doesn’t pass the smell test. Then again, trump in person probably smells awful too.
