I have officially filed an FBI IC3 complaint regarding Polymarket’s handling of the “MicroStrategy sells any Bitcoin by May 31, 2026?” market.
Submission ID: 1d37377ddf04f2d91c7a19aa3e8517d
The written rule did not require public disclosure before May 31. It only asked whether Strategy sold any Bitcoin by the deadline.
Adding a new disclosure requirement after users traded is not fair market resolution. Prediction markets cannot work if rules are rewritten after the fact.
I will continue pursuing every available regulatory and legal channel until this is properly reviewed.
@AdviserCounsel let’s say this turns out horribly & is a large drag on index returns. Would 401(k) plans have any potential fiduciary liability over SP500 investment options?
Rule changes for the SpaceX $SPCX IPO:
Index providers waived the profitability requirement and cut the seasoning window from 90 days to 5.
This forces over $30 trillion in passive 401k and retirement money to buy SpaceX at IPO valuations.
Bloomberg Intelligence estimates S&P 500 funds must absorb 19% of SpaceX's float within 6 months.
Russell 1000 and Nasdaq 100 funds will absorb 24%.
The rules built to protect passive investors:
1. S&P 500 has required 12 months of trading and 4 quarters of GAAP profitability since 2002. Both waived.
2. Nasdaq cut its inclusion window from 90 trading days to 15.
3. FTSE Russell cut its to 5.
All three benchmarks are now structured to buy SpaceX at IPO pricing.
As someone who’s Christmas present since 5th grade was league pass, the league ruined the game a long time ago
Everything from the bs gather step, to rewarding throwing the ball up upon the slightest contact, to restricting defenders ability to contest jump shots, etc.
OKC’s flopping is excessive but it’s not that much worse than the rest of the league & I’ll take what they do over what harden did everyday
What I appreciate about the thunder is that they actually play hard all 82 games, don’t take rest days. I honestly think the league would be a better product if teams were more like them
@cullenroche@kkmaway I think of direct asset-liability matching when I hear LDI (i.e. build a TIPs ladder)
Whereas MC simulations based on your goals + portfolio seem more total return based, but you can argue that’s a form of LDI bc you’re taking the timing & amount of liabilities into account
