Epstein Files
Oprah, Hanks … and Hawking?!?
Check Out List of Celebrities on Betting Site

Tom Hanks, Oprah, and Stephen Hawking … what do these three have in common? They’ve all landed on an online betting board listing celebs people expect will show up in the Jeffrey Epstein Files.
Polymarket — billed as the world’s biggest prediction market — is taking bets on who might have alleged connections to Epstein’s trafficking activity or financial web … and the lineup is extensive.
The name currently at the top is former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak … sitting at a whopping 65% chance. “Forrest Gump” star Tom lands in fifth place on the monstrous leaderboard, with David Koch, David Copperfield, and Ellen DeGeneres rounding out the oh-no-thanks top 5 spots.
Oprah’s not too far behind either — she’s sitting alongside other familiar TV heavyweights like Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert.
People aren’t exactly putting their faith in the politicians either — former UK PM Tony Blair made the list, and so did former presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama. Even AOC’s in the mix … though bettors are only giving her a tiny 3% chance. If you’re wondering, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump are on the “resolved” list … as we’ve already seen their names in Epstein material that’s been released.
It’s an interesting and seriously wide-ranging list — even tossing in imprisoned Diddy and the late Michael Jackson.
The Epstein Files could drop by January 5. Important to note — any names getting tossed around or bet on here do NOT mean criminal activity or guilt … it’s all speculative.
