Market-implied odds of 97.4% against Jerome Powell serving jail time before 2027 reflect the April 2026 closure of the Department of Justice criminal probe into his congressional testimony on Federal Reserve headquarters renovations, which found insufficient evidence to support charges. Powell’s term as chair concluded in May 2026 without indictment, and his remaining governor role through 2028 carries standard legal protections that limit rapid prosecution. The episode stemmed from cost-overrun disputes rather than personal financial misconduct or fraud, with courts previously quashing related subpoenas. Tail-risk scenarios include an unforeseen new referral tied to political shifts, though historical precedent shows such actions rarely escalate to incarceration within months absent clear criminal conduct.
