The market title asks if the event occurs in 2026, but the resolution text specifies an outcome occurring by December 31, 2026, meaning a qualifying sentence before 2026 would trigger an affirmative resolution. Participants should also note the early resolution clause that triggers an immediate negative resolution if all criminal charges are dismissed or dropped without judgment, rather than waiting out the full timeline. Resolution relies primarily on official government or law enforcement records, but allows a consensus of credible reporting as a fallback.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve to "Yes" if former FBI director James Comey is sentenced to any time in jail/prison for any charges, by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". This market will remain open through December 31, 2026 or until Comey is sentenced to time in jail/prison, regardless of any initial sentencing that does not include prison. Any sentencing will qualify, regardless of subsequent appeals or changes to the sentence. Civil lawsuits, regulatory actions, administrative complaints, investigations without charges, internal employment actions, or public accusations without the filing of criminal charges will not qualify, even if widely reported or described colloquially as “charges.” If at any point all charges against James Comey for all criminal cases are dropped for whatever reason, due to a plea agreement without an admission of guilt, a dismissal, or any other situation in which no judgement is rendered or will be rendered by the court, this market will resolve to "No". The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the relevant government and law enforcement; however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
