The director of a betting agency who predicted Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election is being pursued by the FBI.
Oku.AzThe newspaper “The New York Post” reported on this.
FBI agents reportedly broke into the apartment of Shane Koplan, CEO of the “Polymarket” betting agency, woke him up and demanded that he hand over his smartphone and other electronic devices for the investigation.
The source, who called the incident “a very bad giant political spectacle,” said the FBI could have approached the attorney for Koplan, 26, to request any of the seized items.
The reason for the raid was not revealed to the agency owner, but the source believed it was political revenge for Polymarket’s accurate prediction of Trump’s easy victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, unlike traditional polls.
It should be remembered that the presidential elections in the United States took place on November 5. Candidate Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party and Donald Trump of the Republican Party fought for the first place. According to the voting results, Trump received 312 votes and Harris received 226 votes.
The inauguration ceremony of the 47th president of the United States will take place on January 20, 2025.
