Who will the OpenAI spy be accused of working for in 2026?

This event tracks whether the U.S. federal government or OpenAI will publicly accuse Abdulrahman Alfozan, an OpenAI employee arrested in October 2026, of acting on behalf of specific countries, companies, or individuals. Markets measure accusations against distinct entities.

How the outcomes relate

Each market corresponds to a specific entity (such as a country or company). The rules do not restrict the number of markets that can resolve Yes; more than one market can resolve Yes if qualifying allegations name multiple entities, or all can resolve No if none are named.

How it resolves

A market resolves Yes if the U.S. federal government or OpenAI publicly alleges between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET that Abdulrahman Alfozan acted on behalf of, or under the direction, control, or sponsorship of, the listed entity regarding the recording device incident. For countries, conduct must be attributed to the government, intelligence services, or state-affiliated entities (nationality alone does not qualify). Speculation or descriptions of mere contact do not qualify. Official sources include DOJ charging documents, court filings, FBI statements, and official OpenAI statements. Subsequent retractions do not affect resolution. If no qualifying allegation occurs by the deadline, the market resolves No.

Key dates

• Incident announcement date: Oct 13, 2026 — Date the U.S. Department of Justice announced the arrest and charges against Abdulrahman Alfozan.
• Resolution deadline: Dec 31, 2026 — Allegations must be made by 11:59 PM ET on this date.
