In January a college student posted a video showing him winning $100,000 on Polymarket — one of 145 that appeared to show bets adding up to almost $410,000, reports the Wall Street Journal.

The merge landed June 20, 2026. After around 362 commits spread across six years of incremental work,... Read more ›
