U.S. Media: US Soldier Arrested for Betting on Maduro's Capture, Making Over $400,000
Svmuu reported that ABC News, citing sources, said that US federal authorities arrested a Special Forces soldier on Thursday involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The soldier allegedly made over $400,000 by betting on Maduro's ouster. Sources said federal investigators believe the soldier placed over $33,000 in bets on the prediction market Polymarket just hours before President Trump announced Maduro's capture in January. The series of bets yielded over $409,000 in profit, immediately triggering scrutiny within the prediction market and launching a months-long insider trading investigation.
