Glad I don't work a job where any prediction markets will depend on me.
It happens in any case where people use the fruits of your labor to make money. And people can get really pissy if they believe you can make them rich and you refuse to do so (even if you do it out of spite, you still have the right to refuse). It's unfortunately a fact of life that anons on the internet can become dangerous, and the level of police cooperation really depends on where you are, and your profile/connections.
Therefore, whenever I see people in the Bitcoin space quit due to being on the receiving end of threats, I mostly empathize. Even mild threats can still make you look over your shoulder and generally feel unsafe. Not many jobs are worth that.
