Extensive Diddy Betting Markets Unveiled at Manifold 

Hardly anyone (just 1%) of those betting at Manifold believe music mogul and alleged sex trafficker Sean "Diddy" Combs will be released from prison any time soon.

From the Daily Mail:

So serious are the allegations aimed at Combs, he has been compared to notorious billionaire sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein, who committed suicide by hanging in 2019 while housed at New York's Metropolitan Correctional Facility on federal charges of trafficking minors.

The rapper has been accused of hosting sordid sex parties, referred to as 'freak offs,' during which it has been alleged his victims would be drugged, forced to have sex for days on end, and left with such severe injuries they needed weeks to recover.

He has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges he faces.

FBI Cracks Down on Illegal Gambling Network Using Fake Crypto

A Denver resident has been convicted of running an illegal gambling business involving several parlors across Colorado. The scheme involved electronic games and a fake cryptocurrency to conceal the exchange of credits for cash, revealing fraud and money laundering. The only function of this crypto “was to be exchanged for cash at an ATM-like ‘cryptocurrency teller machine’ next door to or within the gambling parlor.”

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado announced on Tuesday that Jonathan Arvay, a 38-year-old Denver resident, has been convicted of conducting and conspiring to run an illegal gambling business. A federal jury found Arvay guilty on both counts. His operation involved a network of illegal gambling parlors throughout Colorado.

Arvay operated Player One Arcade in Denver, according to authorities.

“These gambling dens masqueraded as arcades with a veneer of legitimacy,” said Matt Kirsch, acting United States Attorney for the District of Colorado . “I am grateful to law enforcement for digging beneath the veneer and finding that these establishments were causing real harm in our communities.”
