Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

Economics may be complex and all that but the stuff you buy today costs a lot more than it used to even a few years ago because companies raised prices blaming “inflation,” posted record profits and never brought prices down. If “inflation” doesn’t ever recede for the consumer that’s a problem!

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."
It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.
