Polymarket Removes Betting Contract on Cornell Sexual Assault Case

Polymarket's contract allowed betting on whether seven Cornell students would be charged with felony sex crimes.
The market, launched on September 30, had over $450,000 in volume before its removal.
Public backlash, including a petition from UltraViolet, criticized the contract and celebrity endorsements.
Polymarket stated the removal was in response to community feedback and concerns about the serious nature of the allegations.
