Read the full assessment
The rules establish precise, objective criteria for resolution. The outcome relies strictly on official on-the-record statements, charging documents, or court filings from the U.S. federal government or official statements from OpenAI. The standards for what constitutes an allegation are clearly defined: the statement must definitively allege that the subject acted on behalf of, or under the direction, control, or sponsorship of the specified state or state-affiliated entity, explicitly excluding mere speculation, contact, association, or nationality alone. The deadline is explicitly fixed to December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET, and retractions do not invalidate a qualifying allegation once made, leaving minimal room for subjective decider discretion or misinterpretation.

Resolution rules
On October 13, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that Abdulrahman Alfozan, an OpenAI employee and Saudi national, had been arrested and charged after allegedly installing a covert audio recording device in an executive conference room at OpenAI's San Francisco offices (see: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/saudi-national-arrested-installing-surreptitious-audio-recording-device-openai). This market will resolve to "Yes" if the U.S. federal government or OpenAI publicly alleges that Abdulrahman Alfozan acted on behalf of the listed entity in connection with this incident between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For listed countries, the alleged conduct must be attributed to the government of the listed country, its intelligence or security services, or a state-affiliated entity of the listed country. Alfozan's nationality alone will not qualify. For listed companies or individuals, the alleged conduct must be attributed to the listed company, its subsidiaries, or the listed individual. A qualifying allegation must definitively state that Alfozan acted on behalf of, or under the direction, control, or sponsorship of, the listed entity. Statements that merely speculate about or suggest possible ties, or that describe only contact, cooperation, or association with the listed entity, will not qualify. Qualifying allegations include charging documents, court filings, and on-the-record statements by the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI, or other U.S. federal agencies or their authorized representatives acting in an official capacity, as well as official statements by OpenAI. Once a qualifying allegation has been made, no subsequent retraction will be relevant for purposes of this market. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the U.S. government and OpenAI.
Market explained
This market measures whether the U.S. federal government or OpenAI officially accuses Abdulrahman Alfozan of acting on behalf of Saudi Arabia in relation to an alleged recording device incident at OpenAI.
How it resolves
This market resolves to 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 Saudi Arabia, its government, intelligence/security services, or a state-affiliated entity in connection with the incident. The allegation must definitively state he acted on behalf of, or under the direction, control, or sponsorship of Saudi Arabia; speculation, suggested ties, contact, or his nationality alone do not qualify. Once made, a retraction is disregarded. This market resolves to No if no such qualifying allegation is made by the deadline. Resolution is determined by official information from the U.S. government and OpenAI, including DOJ/FBI charging documents, court filings, and official statements.
