The spirit of this market is - someone did something that is worse than committing a financial crime. What could that be?

Examples of financial crimes: Fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, bribes, tax evasion, counterfeiting, insider trading, etc.

The severity of financial crimes can vary and you should use your own judgement when voting/placing your bets.

New Resolution Criteria (copied from Bayesian + Joshua):

  • This is simultaneously a market and a poll.

  • 1 person = 1 vote (per answer), so having more shares does not make your vote count for more.

  • If you sell your shares, you are also removing your vote.

  • If an answer has a clear majority of YES holders, that answer will resolve YES.

  • If an answer has a clear majority of NO holders, that answer will resolve NO.

  • If it's very close or votes are still coming in, the option will remain un-resolved.

  • Bots count

I may update these exact criteria to better match the spirit of the question or if Bayesian/Joshua update their criteria.

Old answers below will have standard polls. New answers (added after 6pm ET on June 21st) will adhere to the new guidelines above.
