Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects a strong 77% implied probability for "No" confirmation of Taliban blackmail in the D.C. shooter's case by March 31, stemming from the absence of any official substantiation five months after Rahmanullah Lakanwal's November 2025 attack on National Guard members near the White House. Initial December reports cited investigators exploring possible Taliban threats against his Afghan family, but federal agencies like the FBI have released no verified evidence, treating early claims as unconfirmed leads amid his background in U.S.-backed Afghan forces. With no fresh developments in the past 30 days and the deadline imminent, traders see scant momentum for disclosure, though a late-breaking statement could shift sentiment.
