>This is obvious political retribution by the outgoing administration against Polymarket for providing a market that correctly called the 2024 presidential election

I don't even understand what the conspiracy theory is here. Why would that be something the Biden administration would seek retribution for? And even it were, how would they possibly achieve it before the new administration takes office?

It’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s a barely coded message to the next administration to pull on the FBI’s leash and/or push for legalization in the US.

“Political retribution by the outgoing administration” = “I’m the enemy of your enemy”. “Correctly called the 2024 presidential election” = “I’m flattering you on your glorious victory over our shared foe, now hook a brother up.”
