## What the market snapshot can tell you

At the October 4, 2026 at 09:57 UTC retrieval, the selected Yes contract—“Sinaloa Gov. Ruben Rocha extradited to US by December 31?”—was quoted at 19%. The event had $354,646 in cumulative volume. These are a dated price snapshot and event-wide turnover, respectively. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/sinaloa-gov-ruben-rocha-extradited-to-us-by)[2](https://polymarket.com/event/sinaloa-gov-ruben-rocha-extradited-to-us-by/sinaloa-govpt-ruben-rocha-extradited-to-us-by-december-31-20260728192331169)

The quoted Yes probability describes this specific contract at retrieval time; it is not an official determination that the condition occurred. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/sinaloa-gov-ruben-rocha-extradited-to-us-by)[2](https://polymarket.com/event/sinaloa-gov-ruben-rocha-extradited-to-us-by/sinaloa-govpt-ruben-rocha-extradited-to-us-by-december-31-20260728192331169) The API reported event-level liquidity of $90 at retrieval. That aggregate does not establish the executable depth or spread of this individual position. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/sinaloa-gov-ruben-rocha-extradited-to-us-by)

## The evidence that could change the reading

An approved request or announced agreement can remain unimplemented beyond the deadline.

The useful checks are official records of physical custody transfer; the receiving authority. Those checks connect the public story to the settlement condition instead of treating attention as confirmation.

## The deadline and the interpretation trap

The selected contract’s window ends December 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET. [2](https://polymarket.com/event/sinaloa-gov-ruben-rocha-extradited-to-us-by/sinaloa-govpt-ruben-rocha-extradited-to-us-by-december-31-20260728192331169)

Approval of extradition alone is explicitly insufficient. That detail narrows the question being priced and is worth checking before comparing this contract with a broader political prediction.
