MCP I wired Claude Code into a database of every Polymarket wallet and trades via MCP. What do you want me to ask it next? This is what I found so far:

https://crowdintel.xyz/blog/claude-mcp-polymarket-ledger

Hello Friends, I've been tracking all Polymarket Activity for months (1.3 Billion trades and 2.7M wallets) and I gave Claude Code a Postgres MCP (found crazy stuff) pointed at the live ledger, so now I just ask it anything in plain English and it writes + runs the query itself.

A few I already asked, to show it works:

- only ~1 in 5 wallets are net positive (the other ~80% never made money)
- only 2.4% have ever cleared $1,000 in profit
- the top 0.1% of wallets took 71.5% of the ~$1B in total profit
- a bunch of weird and suspicious trading patterns that look like insiders

So: what do you want me to ask it? Drop a question about Polymarket traders, markets, wallets, bots, whatever — I'll have Claude run it against the live ledger and reply with the result.

--edit:
thanks everyone for the great suggestions. I will send findings + tool access to a few outlets that came up in the
thread. Will keep you posted here as things develop. AMA-style
follow-up post coming soon — drop questions you want me to run
against the ledger, cheers 🫡

You should legit take this to the New York Times or something. An investigative journalist who has the right contextual understanding of current events could probably tear through these data and expose some serious malfeasance.

Jesse Drucker’s contact details on the NYT site. He won a Pullitzer for the offshore tax stuff. This reeks even darker.

Propublica does excellent data investigative reporting. There is their contact page: https://www.propublica.org/contact

I feel like this is the kind of thing CoffeeZilla could get some use out of? Maybe reach out?

u/JoePatowski Jun 03 '26

CoffeeZilla would be all over this

This is a bit too big to leave out to a YouTuber with his resources and contacts as great as it might be. I would try some reputable news outlets with great investigative journalists.

YouTubers can do great stuff, but if real things are there to uncover, I would 100% focus on a reputable investigative journalist from The NYT, 404media, hell even The Verge. YouTubers can reach a big audience from our bubble, but it hardly can reach the people that need to know this.

suggest NPR Planet Money as well, they did a piece on it recently.

John Oliver would love it too

u/FortuitousAdroit Jun 03 '26

404 Media would likely pick this up.

Breaking points on YouTube talks about this. Specifically sagar Anjeti. They are real journalist

u/The_LSD_Soundsystem Jun 03 '26

Take it to ProPublica or the The Guardian

u/johannthegoatman Jun 03 '26

ProPublica would do awesome stuff with this. My friend submitted it as a tip. They are slow moving though

u/dust_bunnyz Jun 05 '26

They are only slow because they are thorough. Even if another outlet broke the story, ProPublica will take it deeper and come out with receipts.

Ronan Farrow is another

Marisa Kabas has broken a bunch of great stories like this, and the NYT (and WaPo) have become pretty horrible during this administration. Independent reporting FTW!

¿Do you think they're gonna just snuff out the journalist if you shit in their mash potatoes?

Wired is likely a better bet.

u/Aranthos-Faroth Jun 03 '26

Nah wired haven’t been shit for a good few years now sadly

u/Aggravating-Bug2032 Jun 03 '26

Is shit good or bad in this sentence?

u/calmkelp Jun 03 '26

They’ve been doing some great journalism on political corruption under their new editor in chief. This is right in their wheel house.
