Crypto Whale's Massive Bets Stir Political Markets Without Agenda

TL;DR Summary
A French investor known as "Theo" is betting over $30 million on Donald Trump winning the upcoming US election through the crypto betting platform Polymarket, aiming for an $80 million gain. Theo claims his motivation is purely financial, not political, and bases his bets on Trump's past election performances. He has also wagered on Trump winning the popular vote and key swing states. If unsuccessful, Theo risks losing most of his liquid assets, though it's unclear if the funds are his own.
