Market Description:
This market allows participants to bet which former winners of the Forbes 30 Under 30 list will be convicted of a crime before the resolution date. Participants can add their own candidates to the list, provided they have been featured on a Forbes 30 Under 30 list prior to their conviction.
Notable Convicted Candidates:
Elizabeth Holmes
Year: 2015
Category: Healthcare
Conviction: Fraud
Martin Shkreli
Year: 2013
Category: Finance
Conviction: Securities fraud
Sam Bankman-Fried
Year: 2021
Category: Finance
Conviction: Fraud (as of October 2023)
Market Conditions:
The market will resolve on January 1, 2027.
Only convictions occurring before the resolution date will be considered.
Participants can add candidates who have appeared on a Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
Convictions must be for criminal offenses, excluding civil violations.
Additional Context:
While most former winners are not involved in criminal activities, notable individuals currently facing legal issues include:
Charlie Javice (2019, Finance): Awaiting trial for fraud charges.
Caroline Ellison (2022, Finance): Pleaded guilty to fraud charges and is awaiting sentencing.
I have added some top recent ones from Healthcare and Finance categories since those are who have historically been convicted.
People who won together count as a group, and if any of them are convicted, it counts as a Yes for that group. You can not add an option bundling people who did not win together.
