Before the U.S. capture of President Maduro, a Polymarket user placed a sizable bet that he would soon be out of office. The correct prediction got a payout of $436,000.
Instances of uncannily accurate bets are continuing to pop up, and they’re causing concern in the world of prediction markets.

As protests intensify across Iran, so does the violence used to suppress them. The mullahs in charge are weakened, but not yet done. This week for Interruptrr, I look at the dangerous space between unrest and revolution—and the uncertainty ahead.
