Federal authorities arrested a US Army special forces soldier Gannon Van Dyke on Thursday for allegedly using classified insider information from the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to place winning bets worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on Polymarket - the first known instance of the Department of Justice prosecuting insider trading on such a platform. According to the DOJ, feds claim that Van Dyke - who took part in the January 2026 "Operation Absolute Resolve" that captured Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores - wagered approximately $33,933 across four Polymarket contracts in the hours before President Donald Trump publicly announced the success of the raid. The largest single bet, $32,537, was placed on Maduro being out of office by January 31. When the operation succeeded and Maduro was taken into US custody, the soldier pocketed more than $404,000 on that contract alone, for a total profit exceeding $409,881.
