Obviously there are no details yet, but I suspect it's as simple as:

- Polymarket is still very illegal in the US

- Lol. We all know it's easy to get around that

- If the CEO knew or was complicit in US citizens breaking laws, he could be in trouble. And if there was evidence he was encouraging it, he could be in big trouble

The standard is (a) whether the act was illegal, (b) the company knew it was illegal and did it anyway.

None of what you listed is relevant since it isn’t illegal for example to suppress speech or mislead the public.
