    “Okay guys, no more putting money on this stuff, we’re in the news too much, wink wink.” “Did you just say wink out loud? I don’t think you’re supposed to say it…”

    Somewhere there is a Russian Intelligence Analysts whose primary assignment is watching prediction markets. And he’s probably providing solid intel from it.
