南投地檢署指揮新竹縣警局刑警大隊,今天查獲南投縣民向境外去中心化預測平台「Polymarket」的「縣市長賭盤」,以與美元等值的虛擬幣USDC進行投注,跳過南投縣,賭的是選情激烈的幾個縣市長選舉,共下注800美元。檢方經訊問,以涉犯選罷免法的以網際網路方式進行選舉賭博等罪嫌,諭知3萬元交保。

南投地檢署指出,該署檢察官吳慧文指揮新竹縣警局刑警大隊,今天持法院核發的搜索票,前往縣內白姓民眾住處搜索,扣得手機及電腦等工具,並傳喚白姓民眾到案說明。

白男是透過網際網路,連線至境外去中心化預測平台「Polymarket」,在平台上所開設以「2026年臺灣地方選舉:各區域縣市首長優勝者」為標的的賭盤,下注賭了數個縣市長參選人會贏。

南投檢方表示,該境外選舉賭盤,有別於傳統由莊家設定賠率的模式,利用區塊鏈技術與類似訂單簿的交易機制,由市場參與者依下注情形自動形成對賭關係,且賠率即時浮動。而白姓民眾等台灣賭客,是利用綁定銀行帳戶的電子錢包,以與美元等值之穩定幣(USDC)進行投注,他共投注相當於美元800元的穩定幣(USDC)。

南投檢方強調,本月起選舉進入激戰期,該境外平台開辦選舉賭盤,或是有境內的傳統地下賭盤,利用選舉賭盤操控選舉,危害選舉公平性,檢警一定會認真查辦。

Open Questions

  • 是否還有其他台灣民眾參與該平台的選舉賭盤?
  • 檢警後續是否會擴大追查金流?

Xi Jinping’s visit to the United States: Negotiation deadlock behind the red carpet reception and Taiwan’s challenge

Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the United States. Although he was received with high-level military honors and a state banquet, the actual result was only an extension of the trade truce for two months. The United States and China have left tariffs, technology controls, and Taiwan issues for discussion at subsequent summits. Taiwan needs to be wary of the risk of being sacrificed in the exchange of interests between major powers.

U.S. officials judge that the probability of China's invasion of Taiwan before 2028 has dropped. The Presidential Office: Taiwan will not give up its democracy and freedoms.

Foreign media quoted U.S. officials as saying that the probability of China's invasion of Taiwan before 2028 is reduced, but if President Lai is re-elected, Beijing may be inclined to use force. Presidential Office spokesperson Kuo Yahui responded that Taiwan has not given up defending democracy and freedom in the past 30 years and will continue to cooperate with international allies to maintain the status quo.

U.S. official: China's chances of invading Taiwan have dropped, and may be counting on the 2028 election

An exclusive Reuters report pointed out that U.S. officials believe that the probability of China's invasion of Taiwan has been significantly reduced before 2028, mainly due to delays in military preparations caused by the anti-corruption campaign and Beijing's anticipation of the results of the 2028 election. However, if current President Lai Ching-te is re-elected, the possibility of using force after 2028 may increase.
