Analysis
This market exhibits extreme illiquidity and volatility despite modest open interest of $182.385, with zero 24-hour volume and a 16¢ spread indicating thin order books. The 1270% implied yield on the "Yes" side combined with a realized volatility of 3530% and 7-day price decline from 16¢ to 9¢ suggests this is a highly speculative position driven by sensational claims rather than substantive evidence, with the low 9% probability likely reflecting skepticism about confirmation occurring within the 259-day timeframe. The cliff risk index of 9 and high information arrival rate of 2.8/h signal potential for dramatic repricing if new evidence emerges, but the current pricing appears to reflect extreme uncertainty rather than informed conviction.
Resolution rules
On February 12, 2026, Rep. Ro Khanna posted a document on X that displays an email with the subject line "I beat Bush" addressed to Jeffrey Epstein, calling for the sender’s identity to be unredacted. You can read more about that here: https://x.com/reprokhanna/status/2022046192478327156 This market will resolve to the individual whose email account is confirmed to have sent the specified message by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. If no individual's email account is confirmed to have sent the message by the end date, this market will resolve to "Not revealed in 2026". The identity of the account must be revealed unambiguously, for example, through a public unredaction of the document in question, which clearly and definitively reveals the sender’s address. Official statements regarding the sender’s identity, or any confirmation that does not involve public unredaction of the specified document, including access limited to House members, congressional committees, or other restricted parties, will qualify only if there is a broad consensus as to their truthfulness. The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
