Ok then
Seems we're dealing with the biggest cyber heist of all time.

We've identified & fixed an issue impacting our international platform, Polymarket.com. One of our 3rd party providers was compromised, and we have referred this to relevant law enforcement.
Anyone who has been impacted will be made whole.
Out of an abundance of caution, we have temporarily halted trading & are working to bring the platform back online.

I recently sat down with @PJVogt to chat about North Korea’s undercover U.S. workforce.
I’ve been a fan of Search Engine and Reply All for years, so being a part of an episode was a real treat.
If you have some spare time, give it a listen!

SCOOP: While Bo Hines was leading the White House’s push to pass the Genius Act, Tether—the company with the most at stake in the bill—was steering millions of dollars to a company he co-owned.
Right after the bill passed, Tether hired him as its U.S. chief.

The Vanity Fair excerpt of Cole's book isn’t written carefully or seriously. It doesn’t explicate sourcing or cite documents.
Kushner offered a detailed on-the-record denial, which appears only parenthetically, low in the piece.
It may be true but I'd exercise caution.

Ted Cruz is preparing legislation that could force prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket to seek approval from Texas before operating: bit.ly/3VY5r8w
He plans to introduce it after the midterm elections.

Someone impersonated a WSJ lawyer and had X take down this thread for violating copyright.
It’s now back online.
ICYMI: @BoHines’s company earned millions from @Tether as he led the White House’s crypto agenda.

Good article. Most interesting tidbit is that Shayne can't get fired
Polymarket has been a bit of a mess, but I prefer him in charge over the likely alternatives
scoops! @antoniabmassa and i dug into the push and pull between polymarket investors and the prediction market's CEO, shayne coplan.

"The Defector" - a 5,500-word espionage tale in today's WSJ that I can guarantee is worth your time.
I spent months speaking to one of the deadliest saboteurs in recent military history, a Russian officer who helped Kyiv kill hundreds of his fellow troops wsj.com/world/russian-defect…
New with @ceostroff: Nearly all recent trading volume on FIFA’s official prediction market partner has been made by a small network of accounts funded by the same wallet that collects the platform’s trading fees.
Similar patterns also accounted for most of the trading during the World Cup.

When we wrote about a $5 billion flurry of same-size trades in Kalshi's perps market, the company said sophisticated traders were sniping stale quotes. A new analysis from @G_Insider raises questions about that explanation.
EXCLUSIVE: Gambling Insider's @gary_mcfarlane finds $9.8B in unusual #Kalshi ether trades, challenging the exchange's explanation for the activity.
@rajivatbarnard tells us he's "starting to have doubts" about his "tolerated sniping explanation."
