While still guarding his anonymity, the mysterious man who's bet more than $30 million on a Trump election victory via the Polymarket prediction marketplace has come forward to assert that his wagers aren't intended to sway the election, but simply to profit from an outcome he's highly confident in.
"My intent is just making money," said the man who describes himself as a Frenchman and former US resident who was a trader for American banks. In an exclusive interview with the Wall Street Journal via Zoom, he used the pseudonym "Théo," saying he wanted to remain anonymous out of a desire to conceal the extent of his assets from his children and friends. The Journal said he was "sport[ing] a short, neatly trimmed beard" and spoke English with a small accent.
