Cuba leader Miguel Diaz-Canel in US custody by...?
Sending a sitting head of state into U.S. custody is a Hollywood screenplay, not a forecast. The market prices it at 5% anyway, which is cinematic optimism.
Absurd premise, but the crowd prices it too high (or too little money is in it) to make the Hall of Shame.
The hype curve (YES price)
Born overpriced, then reality sets in. Want the next one on day one? Get alerts.

The fine print (official resolution rules from Polymarket. Read them: this is where "impossible" bets get easy)
This market will resolve to βYesβ if Miguel DΓaz-Canel is taken into U.S. government custody at any point by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to βNoβ. Miguel DΓaz-Canel will be considered taken into U.S. government custody if U.S. government personnel (including military, CIA, personnel of another agency, or contractors acting under direct U.S. government authority) physically detain, arrest, capture, or otherwise assume physical custodial control of Miguel DΓaz-Canel, regardless of location or duration. Visits, interactions with U.S. government personnel, or Miguel DΓaz-Canelβs presence in U.S. spaces (including vessels, bases, facilities, or meetings) in a voluntary, non-detained capacity will not qualify. A voluntary surrender to U.S. personnel in which Miguel DΓaz-Canel submits to U.S. custody, however, will qualify. Custody that is carried out by non-U.S. entities (including allied or partner forces) will not qualify unless U.S. personnel are physically present and themselves assume custodial control of Miguel DΓaz-Canel, or unless a subsequent transfer into U.S. custody occurs. The resolution sources for this market will be official information from the U.S. government and a consensus of credible reporting.
