Insane story. Man manipulated a weather market using a hair dryer… this is going to become widespread. There are a hundred ways to force an outcome like this
holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer
- polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded
- the guy bought the long-shot outcome (like "22°C" when everyone expected 18°C) for pennies, since nobody thought it'd hit
- then he walked up to the probe and briefly heated the air around it with a portable heat source, spiking the reading just long enough to register as the daily max
- temperature snapped back to normal in minutes, the market resolved in his favor, and he cashed out - twice, on April 6 and April 15, before Météo France caught on and filed charges
hyperstitions.

Ireland’s third largest bank, PTSB, has put itself up for sale. The bank is still majority owned by the Irish state. It’s much smaller than Bank of Ireland & AIB but will give any buyer exposure to a buoyant Irish economy.
