US Soldier Arrested for Betting on Maduro's Capture, Profiting Over $400,000

On April 24, ABC News reported, citing informed sources, that U.S. federal authorities arrested a special forces soldier involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Maduro. The soldier is accused of profiting over $400,000 by betting on Maduro’s ousting. Sources indicated that federal investigators believe the soldier placed a bet of over $33,000 on the prediction market Polymarket just hours before President Trump announced Maduro’s capture in January. This series of bets resulted in profits exceeding $409,000, prompting an internal review within the prediction market and leading to a months-long insider trading investigation.
