Questions about the e-mailing list of the Prediction Market Industry Association

If, allegedly, the ownership of this e-mailing list was passed to the PMIA, why is it that John Maloney (a commercial conference organizer who does not belong to the prediction market industry) is still its “moderator“? And why is it … Continue reading

The Prediction Market Industry Association (PMIA) is a shallow organization that hasn’t accomplished anything, and now the world-wide world knows about that fake organization lead by a triumvirat of non-US people who are not fully representative of the international prediction market scene.
