All rights reserved.Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour confirmed on a podcast interview that his employees asked social media influencers to promote memes about the FBI’s raid on the home of his archrival, the CEO of Polymarket. Both companies offer competing events-betting markets, a new kind of betting industry where people wager about the outcomes of events ranging from elections to popular culture. The FBI raided the home of Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan last month, and it turns out Kalshi tried to capitalize on its rival’s misfortunes by asking influencers to post memes about it, Mansour said. “Some of our team got pretty heated. They didn’t pay anyone; they just asked some of our longstanding affiliates to post some of the memes,” Mansour told Nichole Wischoff on this week’s episode of her show FirstMoney In. Pirates Wires, a media outlet founded by Mike Solana, reported that Kalshi employees were paying influencers to post content suggesting that Polymarket and its CEO Shayne Coplan were engaging in illegal activities. The Pirates Wires article, however, also acknowledged its own apparent conflicts of interest with this report. Solana is a chief marketing officer for Founders Fund, one of Polymarket’s key investors, and Polymarket is an advertiser for Pirates Wires. The podcast segment discussing Kalshi’s response to the raid and the rivalry with Polymarket was deleted shortly after it initially aired. TechCrunch, however, has obtained and listened to the deleted portion. On the podcast, Mansour accused Polymarket of engaging in similar social media tactics against Kalshi, too. “Both companies have been doing this,” he said, adding that his team believed Polymarket was behind some social media posts suggesting that “we also got raided by the FBI. That did not happen,” he said. “We did not get raided by the FBI.” TechCrunch couldn’t confirm these allegations. Neither Polymarket nor Kalshi responded to our requests for comment. But the CEO did say on the podcast that he let the social media wars “go too far” by members of his company, adding, “I don’t think there’s a point going tit for tat.” While Kalshi didn’t fire the involved employees, Mansour said the individuals “understand that it was a mistake, and they shouldn’t do this again.” Polymarket alleged the reasons for the raid had to do with political motivations surrounding wagers on the U.S. presidential election, although both markets were making bets on its outcome. According to Bloomberg, the Department of Justice is investigating Polymarket for allegedly allowing U.S. users to engage in restricted trades. Following a 2022 settlement with the Commodity and Exchange Commission, Polymarket is barred from allowing U.S. traders to place bets on its platform, Bloomberg also reported. Kalshi, unlike Polymarket, has been legally permitted to accept trades from U.S. residents since 2021. In September the company also won a lawsuit that permitted it to accept bets on election outcomes. Kalshi, whose backers include Sequoia and Y Combinator, is currently raising a funding round of as much or more than $50 million, TechCrunch reported last month.

Cupertino: Liang Chao elected mayor, Kitty Moore vice mayorSave articles for later Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time. Just as you can never be sure how a sporting contest will finish, so you never quite know where you might end up as a sports reporter. Here’s one place: a walled-off patch of incongruously green lawn at the top of the Khyber Pass, the barren landscape falling away in all directions, eating cucumber sandwiches with the uniformed commandant of the Khyber Rifles in their barracks. In 1994, I did that. It was in a break between Test matches. Neither our minibus driver, nor our armed guard with a Kalashnikov on his lap said anything on the way up. But at the top, they shared a couple of big fat joints, which made the return journey terrifying. It was at dusk, down a sinuous mountain road, unlit, unmarked and with no guard rails, but any number of overladen and equally unlit trucks, looming out of the gloom like prehistoric creatures.

Credit: Sebastian Costanzo Our protectors thought it all uproariously funny, but the AAP reporter sitting behind the rear axle, unsighted and swaying wildly, failed to see the humour. “We’re all going to die,” he shrieked. Fortunately, we survived and in due course, he became a senior backroom boy at the AFL. Our hosts treated us on our return to Peshawar by taking us shopping – in a gun bazaar. Finally, back at our hotel, we hastily retired to a room behind a smoky glass door that did not officially exist: a bar. Dangers lurk everywhere. If not in the lawless North West Frontier Province of Pakistan, then in the stranglehold of Australian wicketkeeper Brad Haddin in a bar in Johannesburg late one night in 2011. Though Australia had won, I wasn’t sure if his hug was meant playfully or murderously. I don’t think he was either. There had been friction. Then there was a small-hours shout with David Boon in a bar off London’s Regent Street. You might think that was as perilous a place as any other I’ve been. But he’d made a big Lord’s hundred and Australia had won handsomely and all was well in the world, or only a little unwell when I woke up later that morning. In Mick Malthouse’s sight line after a loss, beware. In Merv Hughes’ sight line after a win, beware. I also survived a ball from Michael Holding, the West Indian who was not known as Whispering Death for nothing. OK, it was a tennis ball on a beach in Antigua, where Holding had come across a ragtag group of Australian journos, and asked for a bowl, and delivered it with a mercifully gentle roll of his arm, but still ... West Indies great Michael Holding. Credit: Getty As life-threatening experiences go, these pale beside the pickles many of my long-term reporter colleagues in other fields have found themselves in. Apart from anything else, none were life-threatening. My upper threshold is merely hair-raising. There was the time on the back of a motorcycle, clinging to the rider as he swerved through the dusty streets of Gwalior, trying to get me to a post office to plug the modem of my newfangled four-line display computer terminal into a phone before the dying battery carked it. I filed half a story, which was probably plenty enough. It was not unusual at that time to file from laptops by jury-rigging connections between incompatible plugs. Once in Mumbai, my last resort was to hold two bare wires together between thumb and forefinger, close my eyes, pray and press “send”. It worked – and was not the first or last time a story slipped through my hands.

Credit: Vince Caligiuri The wild frontiers are not all far-flung. In 1990, I found myself on a bus with Collingwood’s newly crowned premiership players, travelling from the Southern Cross Hotel to Victoria Park through backstreets because the main roads were choked with euphoric fans, who mobbed the bus, causing it to rock. Staring through the windows at the sea of supporters stretching off into the dark, coach Leigh Matthews self-mockingly repeated his finals-long mantra: “We’re not talking premierships.” Then he added, sotto voce: “We’re accumulating them.” Another time at Waverley Park, a team manager invited me to step outside to settle some differences. His nickname was Middy, short for Midnight. As it happened, I preferred daylight and quickly put it between him and me. The enmity did not outlive the night. Sports reporting does take you to the damnedest places. At Junction Oval many moons ago, I listened as a podgy young leg-spinner, not yet capped by Victoria, canvassed opinions about what he should do with an offer to move to NSW. My two bobs’ worth was that he should do as his heart told him. As it happened, Shane Warne stayed in Victoria, and the rest, you well know. About that time, it fell to me to inform a young NSW cricketer that he had been picked to debut for Australia. Long before mobile phones and the internet, the team was phoned through to my newspaper office and I tracked the NSW Sheffield Shield team down to a restaurant in Flinders Lane. They had been well-beaten by Victoria that day.I was able to lighten the sombre mood, but only after one missed heartbeat. “Are you sure it’s the right Taylor?” the manager asked. Two years previously, when Mark Taylor had been widely expected to be picked, his little-known state teammate Peter Taylor was instead, prompting a Fleet Street newspaper to manufacture a quote from chairman of selectors, Laurie Sawle, admitting to a “clerical error”. Now, though, my notes confirmed that there was no ambiguity, and Mark was on his way to his illustrious career. As you might imagine, nearly all the most improbable places a reporter might find himself are in Asia. There was the night in Sri Lanka when I was in a taxi with some administrators who compared notes about a new concern: match-fixing. One, realising he had spoken carelessly, warned me not to repeat what I’d heard. It corresponded with something I’d heard the previous night from an Indian journalist and punter who’d been cautioned not to waste his money on a certain match. Overhearing this, a Pakistani cricketer nodded mutely. A skeleton was starting to tumble out of a cupboard. But far from home and without internet or mobile phones, I could not add flesh to the bones at that time. In due course, the Herald ’s arch newshound Phil Wilkins did. It was a story that ran for 10 years. The best seat in the house comes in a range. For the spellbinding Freeman night at the Sydney Olympics, my media seat was directly aligned with the finishing line, maybe 15 rows back. I spent three hours in a poolside deckchair alongside Steve Waugh in Bangalore as he contributed generously and thoughtfully to an anatomical dissection of one Test innings; it became a Good Weekend cover. Steven Bradbury’s iconic moment at the 2002 Winter Olympics. Credit: Stephen Munday A hunch led me rinkside at Salt Lake City in 2002 when skater Stephen Bradbury became, as an American commentator put it, a spectator at a safe distance to his freak gold medal. That story was like his skates; it ran and ran. Where else? There was ringside at Festival Hall, looking down at my notebook and finding blood spatters on it. Oh, the glamour. There was the achingly poignant moment in the Bulldogs’ rooms in 2016 as blubbering old men declared they never thought they’d live to see the day – and that was just the preliminary final. The grand final was something again. There was the bus with a police escort at 3am in Colombo in 1996, where I stared silently at the floodlit site of a massive bomb the previous week that had spooked Australia into bypassing their World Cup match there. The bus was carrying the Solidarity XI, a hastily gathered troupe of Indians and Pakistanis who went to play a symbolic match there in lieu.

Qantas’s Presidents Lounge once, but I can’t tell you where or with whom. There was a desk in a temporarily converted library in Cape Town in 2000 as the King inquiry laid bare the money-grubbing duplicity of South African captain Hanse Cronje and a barrister dismissed Cronje’s upstanding Christian alibi as “theological ventriloquism”. Judge Edwin King barred electronic media from the inquiry, so the world came to learn about each explosive revelation only as quickly as we could tap them into our rudimentary laptops. There was The Lodge. I always knew I’d get there. It was for a PM’s XI reception, but I wasn’t the first or last to make it there without winning the popular vote.

Credit: Penny Stephens Sportswriters dwell on courage, but generally don’t have to practise it – other than in the form of a question you don’t want to ask, but must. I saw courage of a different order in Pakistan in 1994. During a Test match in Rawalpindi, ABC commentator Peter Walsh’s father died back in Australia. Walshie thought to go home, but after a conversation with his mother decided to stay. This was Australia’s last-ever tour behind closed doors. There was no live broadcast and the internet, as we know it, was still in the future. Fans in Australia could follow proceedings only through the scribblings of four print journos and the ABC’s hourly crosses to Walshie. He was a mess, but at the top of the hour would dry his eyes, swallow hard, clamp on his headphones and deliver an update in an unwavering voice, then after switching off the mic dissolve into tears again. He was heroic. The grand Faisal Mosque in Islamabad, Pakistan. Credit: AP Early morning a couple of days later, I found myself in yet another unlikely place, with Walshie and others in the long, cool shadows of Islamabad’s impressive Faisal Mosque. None of us were especially religious, but the place emanated peace. In 2011 in Cape Town, death came closer still. Infamously, Australia had been bowled out for 47 and lost the Test match in three days. On the fourth evening, The Australian ’s Peter Lalor and I were dining on the waterfront when I received a call from the ABC’s Jim Maxwell. There’d been an accident, he said. Peter Roebuck. Come. Only slowly did I realise that Maxwell did not mean that Roebuck was badly injured. He’d gone over a fifth-floor balcony and was dead . This is not the place to revisit all the circumstances , nor to again try to psychoanalyse the complex writer and broadcaster who was also a friend. For a couple of hours, Maxwell, Lalor, Geoff Lawson, Drew Morphett and I sat in the foyer of their hotel near the Newlands ground, trying to make sense of the senseless. The hotel manager dug up some beers, but we hardly touched them. In the very small hours, I caught a taxi back to my hotel and tried to sleep, but was conscious of the time difference and knew all hell would be breaking loose in Australia. In the pre-dawn dullness of my tiny hotel room, I wrote an obit to run on the front page. The next few days were a blur. I was offered the chance to come home, but did not. In a way that’s hard to explain, it made more sense to stay . Lalor, bless him, did the honours at the morgue. A walk up Table Mountain was arduous but cathartic, maybe like that mosque in Islamabad. Jim Maxwell displayed courage, too, paying affectionate tribute to Roebuck in an unfaltering voice at the start of the broadcast of the next Test in Johannesburg a couple of days later. To fill the special comments void, some of us pressmen were drafted in. It was the middle of the night in Australia – who would be listening anyway? Someone was, and on social media bemoaned my mumbling inadequacy beside the great Roebuck. He was right, of course. That was the tragedy. It still is.

CHATHAM, N.J. (AP) — That buzzing coming out of New Jersey? It's unclear if it's drones or something else, but for sure the nighttime sightings are producing tons of talk, a raft of conspiracy theories and craned necks looking skyward. Cropping up on local news and social media sites around Thanksgiving, the saga of the drones reported over New Jersey has reached incredible heights. This week seems to have begun a new, higher-profile chapter: Lawmakers are demanding (but so far not getting) explanations from federal and state authorities about what's behind them. Gov. Phil Murphy wrote to President Joe Biden asking for answers. New Jersey's new senator, Andy Kim, spent Thursday night on a drone hunt in rural northern New Jersey, and posted about it on X. But perhaps the most fantastic development is the dizzying proliferation of conspiracies — none of which has been confirmed or suggested by federal and state officials who say they're looking into what's happening. It has become shorthand to refer to the flying machines as drones, but there are questions about whether what people are seeing are unmanned aircraft or something else. Some theorize the drones came from an Iranian mothership. Others think they are the Secret Service making sure President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster property is secure. Others worry about China. The deep state. And on. In the face of uncertainty, people have done what they do in 2024: Create a social media group. The Facebook page, New Jersey Mystery Drones — let’s solve it , has nearly 44,000 members, up from 39,000 late Thursday. People are posting their photo and video sightings, and the online commenters take it from there. One video shows a whitish light flying in a darkened sky, and one commenter concludes it’s otherworldly. “Straight up orbs,” the person says. Others weigh in to say it’s a plane or maybe a satellite. Another group called for hunting the drones literally, shooting them down like turkeys. (Do not shoot at anything in the sky, experts warn.) Trisha Bushey, 48, of Lebanon Township, New Jersey, lives near Round Valley Reservoir where there have been numerous sightings. She said she first posted photos online last month wondering what the objects were and became convinced they were drones when she saw how they moved and when her son showed her on a flight tracking site that no planes were around. Now she's glued to the Mystery Drones page, she said. “I find myself — instead of Christmas shopping or cleaning my house — checking it,” she said. She doesn't buy what the governor said, that the drones aren't a risk to public safety. Murphy told Biden on Friday that residents need answers. The federal Homeland Security Department and FBI also said in a joint statement they have no evidence that the sightings pose “a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus.” “How can you say it’s not posing a threat if you don’t know what it is?” she said. “I think that’s why so many people are uneasy.” Then there's the notion that people could misunderstand what they're seeing. William Austin is the president of Warren County Community College, which has a drone technology degree program, and is coincidentally located in one of the sighting hotspots. Austin says he has looked at videos of purported drones and that airplanes are being misidentified as drones. He cited an optical effect called parallax, which is the apparent shift of an object when viewed from different perspectives. Austin encouraged people to download flight and drone tracker apps so they can better understand what they're looking at. Nonetheless, people continue to come up with their own theories. “It represents the United States of America in 2024,” Austin said. “We’ve lost trust in our institutions, and we need it.” Federal officials echo Austin's view that many of the sightings are piloted aircraft such as planes and helicopters being mistaken for drones, according to lawmakers and Murphy. That's not really convincing for many, though, who are homing in on the sightings beyond just New Jersey and the East Coast, where others have reported seeing the objects. For Seph Divine, 34, another member of the drone hunting group who lives in Eugene, Oregon, it feels as if it’s up to citizen sleuths to solve the mystery. He said he tries to be a voice of reason, encouraging people to fact check their information, while also asking probing questions. “My main goal is I don’t want people to be caught up in the hysteria and I also want people to not just ignore it at the same time,” he said. “Whether or not it’s foreign military or some secret access program or something otherworldly, whatever it is, all I’m saying is it’s alarming that this is happening so suddenly and so consistently for hours at a time,” he added.

Canucks activate veteran defenseman Derek Forbort'It's become uncomfortable for me': Jordan Peterson, the controversial psychologist, moves from Toronto to the U.S.

NoneROME -- Robert Lewandowski joined Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the only players in Champions League history with 100 or more goals. But Erling Haaland is on a faster pace than anyone by boosting his total to 46 goals at age 24 on Tuesday. Still, Haaland's brace wasn't enough for Manchester City in a 3-3 draw with Feyenoord that extended the Premier League champion's winless streak to six matches. Lewandowski’s early penalty kick started Barcelona off to a 3-0 win over previously unbeaten Brest to move into second place in the new single-league format. The Poland striker added goal No. 101 in second-half stoppage time. Ronaldo leads the all-time scoring list with 140 goals and Messi is next with 129. But neither Ronaldo nor Messi play in the Champions League anymore following moves to Saudi Arabia and the United States, respectively. “It’s a nice number,” Lewandowski said. “In the past I didn’t think I could score more than 100 goals in the Champions League. I’m in good company alongside Cristiano and Messi.” The 36-year-old Lewandowski required 125 matches to reach the century mark, two more than Messi (123) and 12 fewer than Ronaldo (137). Barcelona also got a second-half score from Dani Olmo. The top eight finishers in the standings advance directly to the round of 16 in March. Teams ranked ninth to 24th go into a knockout playoffs round in February, while the bottom 12 teams are eliminated. Haaland converted a first-half penalty to eclipse Messi as the youngest player to reach 45 goals then scored City's third after the break to raise his total to 46 goals in 44 games. Ilkay Gundogan had City's second. But then Feyenoord struck back with goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko. Inter Milan beat Leipzig 1-0 with an own goal to move atop the standings with 13 points, one more than Barcelona and Liverpool, which faces Real Madrid on Wednesday. The Serie A champion is the only club that hasn't conceded a goal. Bayern Munich beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 — the same score from the 2020 final between the two teams. PSG ended with 10 men and remained in the elimination zone. The French powerhouse has struggled in Europe after Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid. Kim Min-jae’s first-half header was enough for Bayern, especially after Ousmane Dembelé was sent off in the 56th with his second yellow. Atalanta moved within two points of the lead with a 6-1 win at Young Boys. Charles De Ketelaere scored two and assisted on three other goals for Atalanta. Also, Arsenal kept red-hot striker Viktor Gyokeres quiet in a 5-1 win over Sporting Lisbon; and Germany star Florian Wirtz scored two goals and was involved in two more as Bayer Leverkusen boosted its chances of finishing in the top eight with a 5-0 rout of Salzburg. AC Milan followed up its win at Real Madrid with a 3-2 victory at last-place Slovan Bratislava in an early match. Christian Pulisic put the seven-time champion ahead midway through the first half by finishing off a counterattack. Then Rafael Leao restored the Rossoneri’s advantage after Tigran Barseghyan had equalized for Bratislava and Tammy Abraham quickly added another. Nino Marcelli scored with a long-range strike in the 88th for Bratislava, which ended with 10 men. Bratislava has lost all five of its matches. Argentina World Cup winner Julian Alvarez scored twice and Atletico Madrid routed Sparta Prague 6-0 in the other early game. Alvarez scored with a free kick 15 minutes in and Marcos Llorente added a long-range strike before the break. Alvarez finished off a counterattack early in the second half after being set up by substitute Antoine Griezmann, who then marked his 100th Champions League game by getting on the scoresheet himself. Angel Correa added a late brace for Atletico, which earned its biggest away win in Europe. Atletico beat Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round and extended its winning streak across all competitions to six matches. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
