NEW: I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards.
Spoiler Alert: They invited me into the VIP program after just one week. Here’s how I yeeted $20K+ ripping riskier and risker bets 🧵

“The day after I lost $1,800 on basketball in one night … an email popped into my inbox. ‘Welcome to the DraftKings VIP Showcase,’ the subject line read. I couldn’t believe it. My night of loss chasing was being rewarded.”

There’s an open secret in Major League Baseball: MLB teams routinely make handshake deals with young Dominican players, an informal system that has created perfect market conditions for predatory moneylenders.

DraftKings has argued that its ‘responsible gaming’ system provides adequate safeguards to protect customers from spiraling out of control.
So I decided to find out: If I bet like a compulsive gambler, would DraftKings stop me?

The University of Maine is contradicting claims made by Susan Collins’ campaign manager.
Let’s break down why this is important. 🧵
Agree with a lot of this.
HOWEVER: "The Americans" appearing outside of the top 10 is absolute malpractice nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

Of all the politicians the CEO courted, Sen. Susan Collins was his most important patron.
The senator’s office steered federal contracts worth millions toward the company while her campaign was pumping its CEO and his network for donations, emails reveal.

Two months after the CEO of defense contractor Navatek used a shell company to send $150,000 to the Susan Collins super PAC, the senator committed to getting Navatek $32 million in naval contracts, according to company emails.

This week, ProPublica revealed that a Russian oligarch close to President Vladimir Putin bankrolled Donald Trump Jr.’s Bahamas wedding festivities.
Join our reporters on Sept. 23 for a behind-the-scenes conversation.
🗓️ RSVP: events.propublica.org/don-jr…
ALT Graphic titled "Bankrolled: How a Russian Oligarch Funded Donald Trump Jr.'s Wedding Weekend." Text below reads: Wednesday, Sept. 23. 4 p.m. Eastern time. An image on the right shows dozens of people in a group wedding photo on a beach, including Donald Trump Jr.; his wife, Bettina; and Tiffany Trump. An arrow points to Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, labeled as "Don Jr.'s secret benefactor," in the back row.

Before Trump returned to office, the FBI obtained an extraordinary document: a 50 page confession from a defense contractor named Martin Kao.
What he told them was shocking: he had bribed members of Congress.
His most important patron, he said, was Senator Susan Collins.
Andy Kroll retweeted
What’s been lost by the gutting of DOJ? Before Trump was reelected, a disgraced CEO handed the FBI a 50-page document, detailing alleged bribes to Sen. Collins and others in Congress. When Trump’s DOJ dismantled the unit that had investigated him, the congressional probe died too

New story:
In 2024, sitting inside the U.S. attorney's office in Honolulu, the former CEO of a defense contractor made a stunning confession to two FBI agents.
He alleged that was the ringleader of a massive pay-to-play operation, bribing senators with campaign contributions in exchange for government contracts.
He said his most important patron was Maine Senator Susan Collins.

New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. propub.li/4yLLwaF
Andy Kroll retweeted
Exclusive: In late 2024, FBI agents were looking at Sen. Susan Collins’ role in a massive illegal bribery scheme alleged by a former federal contractor. Then Trump gutted the FBI and DOJ, leaving no one to carry on the investigation – it’s dead. 🧵

“The secretive, close relationship between the son of a sitting U.S. President and a member of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s inner circle raises serious national security and public corruption concerns,” Rep. Robert Garcia wrote.

When David Ortiz used his influence to help block reforms that would rein in lenders’ ability to prey on baseball families, it was unknown outside of the Dominican Republic that the Hall of Famer had a financial interest in keeping the system broken.
