The FBI conducted a raid on the New York City apartment of Shayne Coplan, founder and CEO of Polymarket, a prominent prediction betting market. This platform gained attention during the recent presidential election but may be under scrutiny as Americans are generally restricted from using it.

Resolves NA if not charged by June 2025.
