Cointelegraph
Two Polymarket accounts are under investigation after earning $37,000 from suspicious, localized temperature spikes at a Paris airport weather station.

Summary

Two Polymarket accounts won $37,000 by betting on unusual, short-lived temperature spikes recorded at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. Blockchain analytics firm Bubblemaps noted that these spikes were not reflected by nearby weather stations, fueling speculation of foul play. Meteorologist Ruben Hallali suggested the sensor data may have been intentionally manipulated, as the patterns appeared unnatural. In response, Météo France has filed a police complaint regarding alleged tampering with their automated weather data systems, highlighting ongoing concerns about the integrity of prediction markets.
