FBI 突击搜查加密货币平台 Polymarket 首席执行官的家

联邦调查局在周三上午的一次突袭中查获了 Polymarket 首席执行官谢恩·科普兰 (Shayne Coplan) 的电话和电子设备。

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

美国联邦调查局 (FBI) 在周三凌晨的突袭中没收了加密货币平台 Polymarket 首席执行官 Shayne Coplan 的手机和其他电子设备。

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

就在该事件发生一周前，该平台正确预测了唐纳德·特朗普在总统选举赌注中获胜。

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.

据消息人士透露，执法人员于早上 6 点到达这位 26 岁企业家位于 Soho 的家中，要求他交出设备。

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，一位知情人士将这次突袭描述为“政治戏剧”，并补充说执法部门可以通过律师合法地要求他们想要的东西。

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，政府可能会针对特朗普获胜的高度准确的市场预测采取政治行动。

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

政府可能会声称，“这是一种市场操纵策略，或者是让特朗普获胜的策略。”

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

Polymarket 是一个免费的公共预测平台，旨在揭示即将发生的事件，例如选举。

“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.

“我们不收取任何费用，我们不在市场上建仓，我们免费发布我们的市场数据，”发言人表示。

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

据知情人士透露，科普兰在事件中并未被捕。

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%.

该平台在正式选举前起到了关键指标的作用。当选举之夜投票结束时，Polymarket 显示特朗普获胜的几率约为 58%。随着夜幕降临，这个数字开始上升。到晚上 11 点 43 分，即美联社宣布大选前大约 6 小时，胜算已达到 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.

科普兰周三上午在 X 上发帖称，有报道称特朗普竞选团队根据 Polymarket 的预测预测了自己的胜利。

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

大选前一个月，预测市场显示特朗普获胜的几率为 67%，领先于副总统卡马拉·哈里斯。

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

传统民意调查从未显示出明显的领先优势，在关键摇摆州，两位候选人都没有超过误差幅度。

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

科普兰称这一结果是“预测市场的胜利”，并将该网站描述为“跟踪选举的最准确方式”。

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

这次选举标志着美国人第一次可以合法地对选举结果进行押注。

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

十月初，联邦法院做出了对卡尔希有利的裁决，允许签订选举活动合同。
