Metro Bank fined nearly £17m for failure to monitor potential money laundering

The FBI seized Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan’s phone and electronics early Wednesday morning — just a week after the election-betting platform successfully predicted President-elect Donald Trump’s win, The Post has learned.

The 26-year-old entrepreneur was woken up at 6:00 a.m. in his Soho home by law US enforcement officers who demanded his phone and electronics, a source close to the matter told The Post.

It’s “grand political theater at its worst,” the source told The Post. “They could have asked his lawyer for any of these things. Instead, they staged a so-called raid so they can leak it to the media and use it for obvious political reasons.”

Coplan was not provided any reason for the incident, but the source said they expect it is political retribution since Polymarket accurately predicted Trump’s win – not traditional polls.

The government is likely trying to accuse Polymarket of market manipulation and rigging its polls in favor of Trump, the source said.

Whoppi Goldberg: "[Pete Hegseth] clearly does not know anything about the military..."

Hegseth, the new Secretary of Defense is a highly decorated combat veteran who served in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan and has earned two Bronze Stars.

Because they know more than a Veteran about the military…

Your new Attorney General who is in charge of justice in this nation knows that the FBI committed crimes on January 6th and that Merrick Garland was hiding everything.
There is going to be hell to pay.
