A WSJ investigation found Polymarket secretly paid creators (via a firm called Virality) to flood TikTok/Instagram/YouTube with staged "winning bet" videos pushing US users toward its offshore platform.
Creators used fake mirror sites to simulate wins that never happened on real accounts.
Of 1,105 videos analyzed from 10 endorsed creators, ~70% showed fake bets (~$1.9M depicted), while real linked accounts actually lost about $166K.
Streamer Adin Ross had a multi-million dollar deal to promote the platform.
Campaigns generated ~140M views and targeted audiences 60%+ US-based, with creators often told not to disclose they were paid.
establishment democrats and republicans weren’t fearful he’d fail and ruin nyc. they were worried he’d succeed and represent the threat of a good alternative
@CrumpledJumper@WorldWideWob I’ve noticed at times when spurs pass out to an open guy at the 3 he fakes and drives openly into a crowded paint for a tough lay, but would this be a time where the middy jumper is a better option for them? e.g the last play in the video🤔
@BearsCatsBulls@crowlongschlong@ThienemanSZN@ShamsCharania Man i feel for you, you were probably one of the last people that he chatted with. Bittersweet but maybe something that you can see as a special moment between you both. All love brother 🙏
Such an uplifting personality that always posted and said things for a laugh.
Always accessible to anyone and would go out of his way to do stuff for others. Rest in peace Mr. King 🙏
@Jason1Goff He was such a accessible guy too always engaging with fans, going out of his way to meet and take pictures, even played video games with anyone. Such a great guy. He will be missed.
Hasan Piker: “All of these Fox News guys are like I can’t believe this is what Graham Platner was doing. Pete Hegseth was literally your co-worker and was a notorious drunk rapist. I feel like I’m losing my mind, the standards are so out of wack. We just never look at Republicans. They can do whatever the fuck they want. They can literally murder, cheat, steal, rape”
@Bulls_Peck I really like how rowdy Knicks fans get. I’ve been wishing for a Bulls Knicks playoffs series for years now! Something about our fanbase talking crap against theirs would be so fun. Ah man a guy can dream.
@K4zWorld@DonderLeNasHawk Wow I didn’t realize I wasn’t the only one. I too liked him as a kid over the other drivers because of the M&Ms look to his car.. Man it’s so sad what happened.
