Biden’s FBI Raids Home of Polymarket CEO After Gambling Platform Successfully Predicts Trump Victory

Lucas Nolan 14 Nov 2024

Federal agents seized the phone and electronic devices of Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan in an early morning raid on his Manhattan apartment, just a week after the crypto betting platform correctly predicted Donald Trump’s stunning 2024 presidential election win.

The New York Post reports that the FBI conducted an early morning raid on the Soho apartment of 26-year-old Shayne Coplan, the founder and CEO of the prediction market platform Polymarket. According to a source close to the matter, Coplan was not provided with a reason for the seizure of his phone and other electronics, but the raid is suspected to be politically motivated.

The source believes that the government’s actions are a form of “grand political theater” and retribution against Polymarket for accurately predicting a landslide victory for Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. Traditional polls had indicated a different outcome, making Polymarket’s successful prediction stand out.

Speculation also suggests that the FBI may be acting on recent leftist media reports accusing Polymarket of market manipulation and rigging its polls in favor of Trump. However, a Polymarket spokesperson stated that the platform is “fully transparent” and allows observers from around the world to analyze all market data as a public good.

Despite the raid, Coplan was not arrested or charged. He later posted on X/Twitter, “New phone, who dis?” indicating his reaction to the situation. He added another tweet shortly after the raid in which he criticized the Biden administration:

Wonder if the FBI is going to raid the MSM left leaning pollsters who tried to skew (bandwagon) the data toward Harris?

What was in the warrant used for the raid?

The pretext appears to be a bitch by the CFTC that is was an unregulated derivatives exchange.  Sounds like a petty vindictive death roll by anti-Crytpo Biden Admin Administrative State.

The timing and the optics are deadful for the FBI and the CFTC.

Those Polymarket charts were killing the Vibe, and any hope of a Harris bandwagon.  This shit's like a game show, and the losing faction's got to dole out their parting gifts.

It's like they're daring the new DOJ to so something about it.

Time has come to cut the federal government by 60%, which will be easy to do, starting with the FBI and DOJ.

What percent of what the DOJ does could fall by the wayside and no one would care if it did?  And our society would not lose one damn thing!

FBI agents raided the Manhattan apartment belonging to Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan early Wednesday morning, according to a report from the New York Post. The raid comes just over a week after the popular betting site accurately predicted President-elect Donald Trump’s historic comeback victory.

Coplan, 26, was abruptly woken up by armed federal agents as they swarmed his New York City apartment around 6 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday. Agents demanded that Coplan turn over his cellphone and other electronic devices, a source close to the matter told the New York Post.

The source described the raid as “grand political theater at its worst” in a statement to the outlet. “They could have asked his lawyer for any of these things. Instead, they staged a so-called raid so they can leak it to the media and use it for obvious political reasons.”

They certainly are ham-handed, aren't they? Must not have been any school board meeting-attending parents around to harass.

They certainly are ham-handed, aren't they? Must not have been any school board meeting-attending parents around to harass.

Yes indeed. I think the FBI does all these 'fake raids' as training and for fun when they get bored.
"Can't you idiots find someone to raid!? Anyone! Let's go raid somebody for something!"
"Well we have some guy who accurately predicted the election. Do you want to raid him?"
"All agents, Gear up! I want 25 machine gunners, 5 snipers, 3 dogs, and a tank in the parking lot! 10 minutes!"

I can tell my internet FBI guy is getting frustrated.
"Why don't you DO SOMETHING! DAMMIT! We will give you the guns, the ammo, the body armor, and set the whole thing up. All you have to do is to simply show up when and where we tell you, just like that Crooks idiot did."

Exhibit B for "why Trump won".

BREAKING: I recently came across this photo of the CEO of Polymarket.

I’ve been closely following the FBI raid on Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan. Initially, I was sympathetic, thinking it was a politically motivated investigation by the FBI, similar to what happened with Roger Stone. But after doing more digging, I discovered that Shayne attended a fundraiser with Tim Walz less than a month ago.

It makes me wonder what other activities he could be hiding while trying to portray himself as a political prisoner. ...
