According to New York Post information, federal agents investigated Shane Kaplan, the founder of Poly Market. Reuters confirmed that representatives of federal law enforcement agencies conducted a search at the home of general director of the company Shina Kaplan in downtown New York City, seizing his phone and electronics.
Many who bet on Poly Market, a platform for betting on elections abroad and cryptocurrencies, during the past week were expecting that the probability of Donald Trump's victory was significantly higher than the probability of victory for vice president Kamala Harris, which sharply contradicted poll results of public opinion.
The search took place following the presidential elections in the USA.
