(*) Manipulando el futuro
Confirmed: someone — one large “institutional investor” — was manipulating the Intrade presidential odds, trying to drive up the price of a McCain win and thereby influence political perceptions:
An internal investigation by the popular online market Intrade has revealed that an investor’s purchases prompted “unusual” price swings that boosted the prediction that Sen. John McCain will become president.
Over the past several weeks, the investor has pushed hundreds of thousands of dollars into one of Intrade’s predictive markets for the presidential election, the company said.
