There is a reason Peter Thiel started Polymarket... You need as much liquidity as possible to capitalize on privatization of national intelligence w/ Palantir.

I might have done - you claim questionable reasons for Thiel's actions without evidence. For one thing he didn't start it.

His ownership percentage is similar to Elon's stake in Tesla, you can quibble over details (Series B vs A). His associates are teaming over Polymarket and now Palantir is in charge of policing the market.. sort of a fox guarding the hen house situation?

I don't think there's any issue with asking when no explanation is provided and it's unclear to you. Whereas complaining about it is just tedious and doesn't add anything of value.
