0xd218e474776403a330142299f7796e8ba32eb5c9

Short answer

No, not on a lifetime basis. cigarettes made Polymarket's daily leaderboard on 96 days (2026-03-22 to 2026-10-08), adding up to $631K on those days, yet verified lifetime PnL is -$52K. The winning days are real; the losing days are simply never on the board. Recent windows from Polymarket: last week -$2K, last month +$536K.
