The Polymarket Drama: Act II
let me start by saying: i didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me. i have 0 skin in the game on this bet, but people in the comments were calling for me to write about it, so here we are.
the original rules are: the bet should resolve to NO if biden signs the relevant bill to provide further funding until 2025, deadline 31 dec 2024.
this happened yesterday, there is no dispute about it. i put the official press release into the first comment. biden signed the bill, every single news outlet is reporting it.
however, this bet is still at 99% YES. why?
because 2 days ago, polymarket arbitrarily added an addition to the rule: the signing needed to happen BEFORE 20 dec 2024. they added this rule months after the bet already started.
people in the comments are going crazy, threatening to sue polymarket etc.
