U.S. Soldier in Maduro Raid Is Charged With Making Bets on Former Leader’s Ouster, Reaping $400,000 Profit
Federal authorities on Thursday charged a U.S. Army soldier who participated in the mission to capture Nicolás Maduro with using classified information about the operation to reap more than $400,000 in profit from bets on the former Venezuelan leader’s ouster.
Gannon Ken Van Dyke was charged in Manhattan federal court with commodity and wire fraud, according to the Justice Department. Prosecutors alleged that he misused information about the operation to make well-timed bets on Polymarket that Maduro would lose power by the end of January. Maduro was captured by the U.S. in early January.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton said that Van Dyke tried to cover his tracks after making the trades by sending most of his gains to a foreign cryptocurrency account and asking Polymarket to delete his account. Van Dyke, 38 years old, is an active-duty soldier who had been stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

Well, its a start. There are certainly many more people who did something like this.

But they’re not Trump family or friends.
despite calls from Democratic congresspeople members there is still no CTFC investigation into the huge oil futures bets placed minutes before several of the Trump tweets that significantly moved the market.
Four of the five CFTC board positions are vacant, the 5th is a billionaire Trump appointee.
