Analysis

14d ago

The market is pricing an extremely low 13% probability of arrest, yet the Yes side offers an exceptional 942% implied yield, suggesting significant mispricing or tail-risk premium for a speculative bet with 259 days to expiry. The 3¢ spread is tight relative to the 13¢ price, but the stark contrast between the 942% yield on Yes versus 21% on No—combined with 614% realized volatility and a 1.93 vol ratio—indicates the market is pricing in rare, high-impact scenarios rather than reflecting consensus expectations. With only $4 in 24-hour volume against $19k open interest and a neutral regime, liquidity is extremely thin, making the quoted price potentially unreliable for large position entry.

Resolution rules

If Letitia James is arrested before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes.
