PANews reported on November 2 that according to the Wall Street Journal, Théo (pseudonym), a user who spent more than $30 million betting on Trump's victory, said that "there is no political purpose, just to make money." Théo claims to be a Frenchman who once lived in the United States and worked as a trader in a bank. If the bet is successful, he can get a return of more than $80 million; if the bet fails, he may lose all or most of the money. Théo admitted that he was nervous. He said he believed Trump would win, but he was worried that unexpected news developments at the last minute might disrupt his bet.
