A ruthless player has emerged in the prediction markets.

Someone made over a million dollars in a single day on Polymarket by betting on search engine–related predictions. The way things unraveled was pretty dramatic—a major tech giant accidentally leaked search results ahead of time. Although they quickly pulled them back, it was already too late.

The data is clear: this guy hit 22 out of 23 predictions, and his holdings skyrocketed to $3.9 million. That level of accuracy can't be explained by analysis alone.

Looking back at his history, it's even more outrageous. He placed early bets on a certain AI model being released ahead of schedule and pocketed another $150,000+ with ease. He timed everything perfectly, always before the official announcements.

It's obvious to anyone paying attention—this is a classic case of profiting from information asymmetry. Someone with inside info is treating the prediction market like their personal ATM.

Honestly, this kind of play has changed how I view on-chain prediction platforms. No matter how decentralized the tech gets, you just can't guard against information asymmetry.
