Conversation: Nobel Institute probes possible leak of peace prize recipient's name NHK

A: Hey there! Have you heard anything interesting lately?
B: Not really, just been working and stuff. What's up?

A: Well, something pretty big happened in Norway! They gave this year's Nobel Peace Prize to a Venezuelan lady named Maria Corina Machado.
B: Oh wow, that's cool! What did she do to win it?

A: She's been working hard for democracy in Venezuela, that's why! Now, here's the interesting part. Some people guessed she would win before the announcement and made some big money because of it!
B: Are you kidding me? People could predict who was going to win that far in advance? That sounds fishy...

A: Yeah, it does, right? So, a Norwegian media outlet said there might have been some leaks or maybe even digital leaks of info. They think it's why the odds for Maria skyrocketed so quickly!
B: Wow, that's crazy! I wonder if they'll find out who did it...

A: Indeed! The Norwegian Nobel Institute is investigating this now and says they take it seriously. But they don't have all the details yet. Still, they're looking into it!
B: Well, I hope they catch whoever leaked that info. It would be unfair to Maria if she didn't win because someone cheated...
Summary
Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Maria Corina Machado, a Venezuelan advocate for democracy. Some speculated about her winning before the announcement, potentially due to information leaks or digital leaks affecting betting odds. The Norwegian Nobel Institute is investigating these suspicions.
