The U.S. Department of Justice has dropped the case against Shayne Coplan, CEO of Polymarket, following an FBI raid on his home shortly after the 2024 presidential election. The raid, which occurred at 6 a.m. eight days after the election, involved the seizure of Coplan's computers and phones as authorities searched for evidence of wrongdoing related to Polymarket's accurate prediction of Donald Trump's 2024 election victory. The incident has been criticized by various commentators as an example of government overreach and misuse of legal authority during the previous administration. Coplan described the FBI action as traumatic but noted the eventual dismissal of the case as a form of vindication. The controversy highlights tensions surrounding election-related investigations and the treatment of individuals involved in political forecasting platforms.
