FBI 突襲搜查加密貨幣平台 Polymarket 執行長的家

聯邦調查局在周三上午的一次突襲中查獲了 Polymarket 首席執行官 Shayne Coplan 的電話和電子設備。

The FBI confiscated the phone and other electronic devices of Shayne Coplan, CEO of cryptocurrency platform Polymarket, during a raid early Wednesday morning.

美國聯邦調查局 (FBI) 在周三凌晨的突襲中沒收了加密貨幣平台 Polymarket 執行長 Shayne Coplan 的手機和其他電子設備。

The incident occurred just a week after the platform correctly predicted a Donald Trump victory in a presidential election bet.

就在該事件發生一周前，該平台正確預測了唐納德·特朗普在總統選舉賭注中獲勝。

According to sources, law enforcement arrived at the 26-year-old entrepreneur’s Soho home at 6 a.m. and demanded he hand over his devices.

消息人士透露，執法人員於早上 6 點到達這位 26 歲企業家位於 Soho 的家中，要求他交出設備。

However, a source close to the matter described the raid as “political theater,” adding that law enforcement could legally demand what they want through lawyers.

然而，一位知情人士將這次突襲描述為“政治戲劇”，並補充說執法部門可以透過律師合法地要求他們想要的東西。

One source said the government could take political action against the highly accurate market forecast predicting a Trump victory.

一位消息人士表示，政府可能會針對川普獲勝的高度準確的市場預測採取政治行動。

The government might claim, “This is a market manipulation tactic or a ploy to get Trump to win.”

政府可能會聲稱，“這是一種市場操縱策略，或者是讓川普獲勝的策略。”

Polymarket is a free public forecasting platform that aims to shed light on upcoming events, such as elections.

Polymarket 是一個免費的公共預測平台，旨在揭示即將發生的事件，例如選舉。

“We don’t charge any fees, we don’t take positions in the markets, and we publish our market data for free,” the spokesperson said.

「我們不收取任何費用，我們不在市場上建倉，我們免費發布我們的市場數據，」發言人表示。

According to a source close to the matter, Coplan was not arrested during the incident.

據知情人士透露，科普蘭在事件中並未被捕。

The platform acted as a key indicator before the official election callWhen the polls closed on election night, Polymarket showed the odds of a Trump victory at about 58%. That number began to rise as the night wore on. By 11:43 p.m., about six hours before the Associated Press called the election, the odds had reached 95%.

該平台在正式選舉前起到了關鍵指標的作用。隨著夜幕降臨，這個數字開始上升。到晚上 11 點 43 分，即美聯社宣布大選前約 6 小時，勝算已達 95%。

Coplan stated in a post on X on Wednesday morning that reports indicated the Trump campaign had predicted their victory based on Polymarket’s forecast.

科普蘭週三上午在 X 上發文稱，有報稱川普競選團隊根據 Polymarket 的預測預測了自己的勝利。

A month before the election, prediction markets showed Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris with a 67% chance of winning.

大選前一個月，預測市場顯示川普獲勝的幾率為 67%，領先副總統卡馬拉·哈里斯。

Traditional polls never showed a clear lead, with neither candidate exceeding the margin of error in key swing states.

傳統民調從未顯示出明顯的領先優勢，在關鍵搖擺州，兩位候選人都沒有超過誤差幅度。

Coplan called the result “a triumph of prediction markets,” describing the site as “the most accurate way to follow the election.”

科普蘭稱這一結果是“預測市場的勝利”，並將該網站描述為“跟踪選舉的最準確方式”。

This election marked the first time Americans could legally bet on the outcome of an election.

這次選舉標誌著美國人第一次可以合法地對選舉結果進行押注。

In early October, a federal court ruled in Kalshi’s favor, permitting election event contracts.

十月初，聯邦法院做出了對卡爾希有利的裁決，允許簽訂選舉活動合約。

However, this isn’t the first time Polymarket has encountered issues with the government. It was recently reported that France’s gambling regulator, the ANJ, was facing a possible ban after large amounts of betting were placed on the 2024 U.S. presidential election.Coinbase CEO criticizes

然而，這並不是 Polymarket 第一次遇到政府的問題。近日有報道稱，法國博彩監管機構ANJ因大量投注2024年美國總統大選而面臨可能的禁令。

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has criticized the recent investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) into crypto-based prediction market platform Polymarket.

Coinbase 執行長 Brian Armstrong 批評了司法部 (DOJ) 最近對基於加密貨幣的預測市場平台 Polymarket 的調查。

Armstrong took to social media to express his belief that the DOJ’s actions are politically motivated and could ultimately amplify Polymarket’s influence.

阿姆斯壯在社群媒體上表達了他的信念，即司法部的行為是出於政治動機，最終可能會放大 Polymarket 的影響力。

The investigation, which included a search of Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan’s devices, has generated significant attention in the crypto and tech industries.

這項調查包括對 Polymarket 執行長 Shayne Coplan 的設備進行搜查，在加密貨幣和科技產業引起了極大關注。

In a post on X, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong shared his perspective on the Polymarket investigation.

在 X 上的一篇文章中，Coinbase 執行長 Brian Armstrong 分享了他對 Polymarket 調查的看法。

Polymarket allegedly violated earlier agreements with US regulators by allowing US-based users to place bets during the FBI raid.

據稱，Polymarket 允許美國用戶在聯邦調查局突襲期間下注，違反了先前與美國監管機構達成的協議。

A settlement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in 2022 limited Polymarket’s access to US-based investors and resulted in the company paying a fine of $1.4 million.

2022 年與商品期貨交易委員會 (CFTC) 達成的和解協議限制了 Polymarket 接觸美國投資者的機會，並導致該公司支付了 140 萬美元的罰款。
