@GustavoMafra My theory is that @LexFridman is a fake account made to (successfully) manipulate that market

bought แน€5 of NO

@BrendanFinan I was thinking that too but two Manifold founders are betting Yes here on pretty high probability, maybe they have some information that we don't

bought แน€20 of NO

@GustavoMafra yeah I'm guessing they looked to see what Google account created @LexFridman

bought แน€500 of YES

@BrendanFinan haha guilty as charged

predicted YES

@Austin xd same

predicted YES

@DavidChee although he doesn't actually have an email listed anywhere online that I could find, so can't be 100% sure it is him.

predicted YES
bought แน€10 of NO

bought แน€1,000 of YES

@GustavoMafra Email matches. It's him.

Ok, I'll plan on resolving yes by EOD unless anyone gives me reason to believe otherwise.

predicted NO

@SG Cool!

bought แน€20 of NO

If you're not convinced either way, will you resolve it NO or N/A?

@CarsonGale Feel like it should resolve NO if so? How could you be convinced that itโ€™s not him?

@Charlie very easily - most parody accounts tend to be identified pretty early.

That said, looking back I think the language in the original question more clearly implied a "no" resolution if I'm not convinced. If I was repeating this market, I would make it more clear. As it is, it seems like this market will be more or less done & dusted.
