Trade: Epstein client list released by...?
Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to “Yes” if files which were not previously public and which pertain to the illegal activities of Jeffrey Epstein are made public by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET, and those files contain a list of individuals associated with Epstein in connection with his illegal activities, including but not limited to sex trafficking or related crimes. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” To qualify, the files must contain names in a context equivalent to what is commonly referred to as Epstein’s “client list”—that is, a document that explicitly identifies a list or set of individuals as being directly connected to, participating in, facilitating, funding, soliciting,…

Market context
The underlying question concerns whether previously sealed documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's criminal enterprise will enter the public domain by year-end 2025, specifically containing identifiable names of individuals connected to his illegal activities. The market currently reflects a 0% implied probability on Polymarket's order book, indicating traders assess the likelihood as negligible within the specified timeframe.
Historical precedent suggests substantial barriers to such disclosure. The 2015 unsealing of documents in a defamation case against Ghislaine Maxwell revealed certain names, yet comprehensive client lists have remained restricted despite repeated legal motions. Courts have consistently cited privacy interests and ongoing investigations as justification for maintaining seals. The 2023 release of the Maxwell trial transcript and related filings provided limited additional names compared to public speculation. Similar high-profile cases involving sealed materials—from the Weinstein proceedings to the Diddy indictment documents—have seen only partial, incremental disclosures rather than wholesale release of comprehensive lists.
Catalysts for movement would centre on judicial decisions or legislative action. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals continues reviewing sealed materials in related cases, though no imminent ruling dates have been publicised. Any federal legislation mandating disclosure would require congressional action unlikely before year-end 2025. State-level initiatives in New York or Florida remain speculative. The market's zero probability reflects the absence of scheduled disclosure mechanisms and the structural resistance courts have demonstrated to unsealing such materials. Traders monitoring this would track appellate docket updates and any legislative proposals, though current conditions suggest minimal probability of resolution to "Yes" before the December 2025 deadline.

How active is this market?
$4.3M in lifetime turnover and $31K of resting liquidity puts this market in the top 2% by volume for politics contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is modest — expect a couple of cents of slippage on $1k+ trades.
Last 24 hours alone saw $2K in turnover, consistent with the market's lifetime daily-average pace.
The market has been open for 6 months — the price has had time to stabilise as new information arrived.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
Key terms
- YES / NO share
- A binary outcome token that pays $1.00 if the underlying claim resolves true (YES) or false (NO), and $0 otherwise. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

- Liquidity
- USDC capital sitting in resting limit orders inside the order book. Deeper liquidity means smaller slippage on large trades and a tighter bid-ask spread.
- UMA optimistic oracle

- Slippage
- The difference between the displayed mid-price and your fill price. Affects market orders most; limit orders avoid slippage but may take time to fill.
- Conditional token

Risk and regulatory note
Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.
Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
