Polymarket Scam Accusations continue in yet another RFK market.
2 min read
Yesterday I wrote a post how Polymarket users believed they were being scammed by the centralized entity on a resolution that RFK jr. Endorsed Trump. You can read about that here.
Today I’m writing about another scam accusation involving RFK JR and Polymarket this time if he’s dropping out of the race.
RFK JR. Stated during his address yesterday that he was suspending his campaign not ending it as a result the market “Will RFK Jr. drop out by Friday?” went from around 99% yes to 6% yes. Since technically RFK Jr. isn’t dropping out.
I am simply suspending it not ending it. My name will remain on the ballot in my states… I encourage you to vote for me, and neither of the major party candidates win.. I could end up in the white house in a contingent election.
RFK JR. just released another press release from his campaign that reaffirmed he’s not terminating his campaign only suspending it… and he could still end up in the white house if there is a contingent election. (since he’s not terminating his campaign)
You’d think this wouldn’t be controversial… Yet Polymarket and their centralized decision making arbitrarily decided that suspending their campaign was close enough to dropping out contrary to what RFK jr. himself has said multiple times and reiterated in his press release. Which caused this market to go from 29% yes to 99% yes.
So we have yet another scam accusation going on in the Polymarket Discord as users once again feel like they’ve been scammed by the centralized entity. I think this is even more obvious than yesterdays scam accusation, but what do you think?
TLDR: RFK JR. said he’s suspending his campaign not dropping out and is withdrawing his name in 10 battleground states to increase the likelihood of a 269-269 contested election where he then can try and secure a presidency through a contingent election. Polymarket arbitrarily decided that was dropping out.
