They has been spectacularly wrong recently..Obamacare Romney etc so I suspect they are just broke.

What? Intrade was stubbornly pro Obama the entire campaign, and everyone who was saying Romney was going to win also said you could make a killing at Intrade.

You are right last I paid any attention in October it was Romney at 40% and going up..looking back they had O at 72 on election day.

But I still think they are just broke and their demise has nothing to do with the US Government..
