The most amazing part to me was finding D4vd is a musician. Never heard of him/her.

He allegedly kept an underage girl's body in the boot of his Tesla for weeks, and previously invited he over to see him. He's toast. Not suprised you haven't heard of him, he's one of those generic yank rappers who's nothing special. My revelation was finding out a boot at the front of a car gets called a 'frunk' 🙄

Changing the selections mid event and manipulating Spotify streams - just another day at Kalshi. Seen there advertising boards everywhere at the WC too yet acting like a small startup satisfying its market makers.
