Frenchman bet on Trump's victory: he wins 85 million dollars
A former French trader won a cool 85 million dollar bet on Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election.
Hugues Huet, a senior reporter at Franceinfo TV and an expert on international issues, looks back on this incredible win. "He (the winner) is obviously delighted with Trump's victory. (...) He's a former trader and had bet the sum of 70 million dollars”.
He goes on to say: "He was obviously reimbursed for his bet, but he received a net total of 85 million dollars. He played on an offshore betting platform that was created in 2020”.
“He played with cryptocurrencies, since you can only bet on this platform via cryptocurrencies.”
