When will the first mainstream article cover facts in Sokolowski, et. al. v. Silbert, et. al. Second Amended Complaint?
Prediction market on manifold. An investigation over the past three months has led us to amend our complaint after we discovered that Barry Silbert engaged in an 11-year long racketeering Enterprise against me and my company. Among other things, we proved that Silbert hacked our mining pool PROHASHING and conducted $22 million in hacks against it, allying himself with Chinese miners to sabotage an American business. The purpose of his theft was to win the "block size war," which limited the bitcoin protocol's capabilities so that people were forced to "invest" in Wall Street ETFs (which he profited from) and "lending" companies (which generally abused and lost customers' funds.) After the theft, he then spent this entire decade in a series of increasingly desperate coverups - signing a $1.1 billion promissory note, creating a sham contract with investment bank Jefferies, assisting in the filing of a baseless lawsuit, and more. As DCG would not exist but for the destruction of PROHASHING, which was a prerequisite for Silbert's "Digital Gold" strategy, the best damage estimate of what PROHASHING would have been is the enterprise value of DCG, with RICO trebling, to $14 billion. The complaint contains the "Digital Gold Logs," a set of A1Z26-encoded messages left by an insider detailing everything that happened inside DCG for a decade. The full complaint is located at https://stevesokolowski.com/sokolowski-v-fraud/#mdpa-second-amendment and contains 967 pages of evidence. This market will resolve to the date (Eastern time) when the story breaks in the first mainstream media outlet. Cryptocurrency-specific outlets are excluded, although widely read technology focused sites count. Places with user-submitted content, like social media sites, are also excluded, and blogs with only one contributor also don't count. The complaint does not need to be linked for the market to resolve, not does the article even have to mention me or PROHASHING or Christopher's name. The article simply needs to cover the facts or consequences of the complaint and also explain the reasoning, like that the Bitcoin protocol was stolen from America by foreigners, why DCG declared bankruptcy, that Jefferies stock is crashing because the bank's shareholders have found out about the lawsuit, that Microstrategy dumped bitcoin because of allegations made about "Digital Gold," or that BCH has soared to $2,000 because of something that happened in Pennsylvania. In the unlikely chance that the facts are not covered by any mainstream media outlet by December 31, 2026, the market will resolve to December 31, 2026. More date ranges may be added before then. Update 2026-01-29 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Due to a Third Amended Complaint being filed (which will be ~100 pages and summarized), the market will resolve based on media coverage of facts from either the Second Amended Complaint or the Third Amended Complaint. If media reports reference any of the 660 pages of evidence from the Second Amended Complaint, this counts for resolution If media only includes the summary story from the Third Amended Complaint without referencing the evidence from the Second Amended Complaint, that is insufficient for resolution
