US soldier allegedly made $400k on Polymarket betting on Maduro raid
The US Justice Department has charged 38-year-old US Army Special Forces soldier Gannon Ken Van Dyke with using classified details about a January 2026 military operation to capture former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to place winning bets on the online prediction market Polymarket, allegedly earning over $400,000 which he transferred to a foreign cryptocurrency account and later a new brokerage account. Van Dyke faces charges including unlawful use of confidential government information and wire fraud, carrying a maximum 50-year prison sentence if convicted, amid prior White House warnings against staff using nonpublic information for prediction market trades.
