Donald Trump won the US presidential elections 2024 quite convincingly that left Kamala Harris a mile behind, but that has initiated an FBI raid at the Polymarket CEO's house for allegedly accurately predicting the results of the US elections.

Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan's phone and electronics where ceased on Wednesday morning, which is the raid that comes a week after the betting platform was able to successfully predict Donald Trump's thumping victory against Democratic Party nominee Kamala Harris.

This is being seen as a retribution by some, while Coplan woke up to the sound of FBI officers knocking at his door, demanding his phone and electronics according to The New York Post's report.


Sources are alleging that this read was conducted so that it could be leaked to the media and we used for obvious political reasons, according to the Express US' report.

Law enforcement officers have also not stated any particular reasons for this raid in the house of the Polymarket CEO, and is therefore becoming apparent that the government is probably trying to accuse this company of rigging and market manipulation, and trying to twist the election narrative in Donald Trump's favor.
