Did Slate investigate the InTrade account of Ben Shannon (alias “Jesse Livermore”, who blogs at “Wiser Than The Crowd”)?

Here is the original request from Slate:

Slate magazine looking for Intrade junkies

Hi there Intraders,

I’m working on a story for Slate about the people who drive prediction markets –especially those who are very good at it. I’m interested in how you got into the game, how to be successful, and what you get out of it, personally and financially. If you’d be willing to chat on the phone for a while, drop me an email at lydia.depillis@slate.com and we’ll set up a time.

One note: the good folks at Intrade have agreed [*] to help me verify the earnings of those people who agree to be part of the article. Just to give it all a bit more credibility.

Hope to speak with you soon!

All best,

Lydia DePillis

[*] We need an official statement from InTrade on that.
