    Why not set up a Polymarket bet for how Polymarket is going to handle this? Or whether they face any kind of legal repercussions at all.

      No joke, this is actually very much how it works. For disputes they use UMA tokens, which allows whales to just buy the vote. Although “being too expensive to corrupt” is the point, there’s a bunch of recent news about votes for $50 million markets bought with $7 million worth of coins (which are reusable, once you own them, you can vote on every dispute with the same tokens and voting power).
