This market will resolve to "Yes" if Jerome Powell serves any time in a federal, state, or local U.S. jail or prison between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the U.S. Government, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used. Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects a 95.5% implied probability that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell avoids incarceration before 2027, driven by a federal judge's March 13, 2026, ruling quashing Justice Department subpoenas in a probe over alleged congressional misstatements on a $2.5 billion Fed headquarters renovation. The court cited "essentially zero evidence" of criminality, deeming the investigation—initiated January 2026 by Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro—a pretext to coerce rate cuts amid persistent monetary policy tensions. Bipartisan backlash and a prosecutor's admission of lacking evidence have solidified Fed independence, with no charges filed. Tail risks include a successful DOJ appeal or unforeseen scandals, though markets price these as remote given judicial precedent and institutional safeguards.
