In his defense, he did say literally a week ago that he was planning to resolve 86% if the IRS passed in its current form. He said this far before you bet a massive amount of NO.

I'm not saying he handled this market well, mind. The criteria originally set out in the description were pretty stupid (not counting anything below 500 billion as "substantial"), and clarifying as late as he did, in a comment rather than a description edit, is really bad form. I certainly will be very careful how I bet on that creator's markets (if at all) in the future.

But this isn't ban-worthy stuff ffs. You, by your own admission, were pretty close to committing a far more dishonest rugpull on your Elon market when Spindle's antics messed with your balance. You bet a massive amount in Medlock's market, well after he had clarified his resolution criteria, against the resolution he said he had planned. I'm not really sure what you expected?
