Right, because everyone's out to get the goofball nobody's ever heard of. 🙄 Traditional polls? The fuck's that even supposed to mean? And "rigging its polls in favor of Trump" as if some fringe betting site would have had any impact whatsoever on actual election polls?
If this is even real, and if they "predicted" the outcome accurately then they're not being picked on, they're being investigated to find out if there was some chicanery going on in the real polls that this douchecanoe found out about and exploited. Which would be illegal af from multiple angles.
I mean the betting odds for presidential elections are crazy accurate. This isn't poker, being good at statistics isn't illegal.

The CIA and NSA always have bets running on what will happen, it's a very accurate way to estimate actual outcome.
