sure would be nice if there were a way to track that accounts' bets and make the same ones.
There's no concrete evidence that those 16 trades were made by the same person; they're just inferring it. There is no account to track, from what I can tell- just anonymous unlinked trades
I think they're also happening on various platforms/markets/exchanges. The oil one referenced here was on a commodity futures exchange.
~~Also OP's title is misleading. The Trump family doesn't own a prediction market, but they do influence Polymarket and Kalshi, and there is a planned "Truth Predict" that's going to be like Polymarket but baked into Truth Social, but that doesn't exist yet~~
My bad, I misremembered the connections between the Trump crime family and the prediction markets.

I'll change my title 😆
Anybody know the dude's name?
