They picked the fall guy then? It's not like he's the only one making money off this shit. Prediction betting or whatever it's called never should have been allowed to exist, it's too easy to manipulate the outcome when it's not a closed system. Plus look how "someone" is being used to manipulate stocks right now. How is that any different?

Proof the system works?
More like proof of what an obvious scam it is.
The idea of them reporting a tangible member of the administration or their families is so outlandish it beggars belief.

Yeah it is only further proof that the rules only apply to those who are not part of the Trump/Epstein class
