The best is this blog post: http://sandhill.exchange/blog/sec-analysis http://sandhill.exchange/blog/sec-analysis In total, these [U.S. Security and Exchange Commission] users have spent 64 hours, 6 minutes, 26 seconds (and counting!) engaging with our site between March 10 and May 14. Over 96 hours if you include time on the blog and the founder’s personal website. This is more time than our team spent building the damn web page. We have clearly achieved product-market fit with this demographic.

That blog entry is now gone, replaced with a message that says "Censored :(" and a rip off of the Bloomberg Business 404 animation. Google cache still has the blog entry [1]. Their Medium article also has been replaced with a message claiming it was censored. Anyone know if they were really censored (e.g., had these taken down against their will, or were ordered to take them down against their will by someone they had to obey), or did they just realize how bad these made them look, and are trying to retract them and possibly using the censored claim to make it look less self-incriminating?

  Their lawyers probably read the article and shit bricks. Admitting that all their financial data was fake ... jeezus is there anything the SEC hates more than people presenting false financial performance? The SEC could have read that too, and what they thought was a another prediction market they realized was an attempt to defraud users because to quote them, "Nobody wants to play in a market with zero users, we realized. So we gave participants the illusion of liquidity."
