# Epstein files: what this “client list” contract actually requires The number of names released cannot establish criminal involvement. The relevant test is what the documents substantiate, while protecting the distinction between association and evidence of wrongdoing.

The relevant test is what the documents substantiate, while protecting the distinction between association and evidence of wrongdoing. Yes requires newly public files containing a qualifying roster tied to Epstein’s illegal activity, with sufficient explicit or contextual evidence. An address book, visitor list or flight log showing contact alone is excluded.

That finding is relevant background, not proof of what any later document contains.

The event had $4,376,499 in cumulative volume. These are a dated price snapshot and event-wide turnover, respectively. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/epstein-client-list-released-in-2025-372)[2](https://polymarket.com/event/epstein-client-list-released-in-2025-372/epstein-client-list-released-by-october-31-20260730205514812) The quoted Yes probability describes this specific contract at retrieval time; it is not an official determination that the condition occurred. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/epstein-client-list-released-in-2025-372)[2](https://polymarket.com/event/epstein-client-list-released-in-2025-372/epstein-client-list-released-by-october-31-20260730205514812) The API reported event-level liquidity of $15,825 at retrieval. That aggregate does not establish the executable depth or spread of this individual position.

Neither publicity nor a person’s appearance in a document alone satisfies this contract. The useful checks are the original released document and its publication date; the context linking any roster to illegal activity. Those checks connect the public story to the settlement condition instead of treating attention as confirmation.

[2](https://polymarket.com/event/epstein-client-list-released-in-2025-372/epstein-client-list-released-by-october-31-20260730205514812) The rules specifically exclude contact lists that establish only social proximity. That detail narrows the question being priced and is worth checking before comparing this contract with a broader political prediction.

Neither publicity nor a person’s appearance in a document alone satisfies this contract. ### What to watch - The original released document and its publication date - The context linking any roster to illegal activity - Official explanation rather than unsourced name lists ### What may already be priced in The 1.9% Yes quote already expresses the market’s dated assessment of this particular condition.
