US prosecutors alleged that Gannon Ken Van Dyke requested Polymarket to delete his account after benefiting from trades tied to the navy operation in Venezuela.
A US Military soldier concerned within the seize of Nicolás Maduro has been charged with making over $400,000 by allegedly betting on the elimination of the previous Venezuelan president on a prediction market platform.
In a press release on Thursday, the US Division of Justice alleged that Grasp Sergeant Gannon Ken Van Dyke was concerned within the planning and execution of “Operation Absolute Resolve” that led to the seize of Maduro at a residence in Caracas, Venezuela, in January.
Van Dyke allegedly used this data to purchase “sure” shares in associated Polymarket contracts, together with “Maduro out by January 31” and “Trump invokes Conflict Powers towards Venezuela by January 31,” in keeping with the DOJ.
