Yeah, seems like they just made the announcement, which is clearly over the deadline right? https://twitter.com/RawsGlobal/status/1829613799705338335?t=1AmLmoJj3V992smVpfOXGg&s=19
@MugaSofer @TallUntidyGothGF Both sources are past the deadline, so I'm thinking this'll be a NO. But I'll leave it to the mods.
@BayesianTom I... actually don't know how to resolve this properly (it's not like I can fly to Brazil today or something), so I'll leave this up to the mods instead.
@duck_master but if you don't trust that I'd recommend just waiting until tomorrow and checking news sources to see if it came into effect
@duck_master I don't think we should treat the mods as an all-purpose research/fact-finding team. Separately, I don't think there's anyone who would reasonably object to resolving this market NO at this point (as evidenced by the market sitting at 1%). There's no report of X being inaccessible, and several reports still coming out of X "bracing" for the upcoming ban.

@the_coproduct thanks for pointing this out! The related market closes on Aug 31, which is a whole day later, so this market should be lower.
