[U.S. Soldier Denies Using Insider Information to Bet on Maduro's Capture]
According to a report by Jinse Finance, on April 29, a U.S. Army Special Forces sergeant pleaded not guilty to charges of illegal trading. The charges allege that he used classified information about a U.S. operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro for illegal trading. Gannon Kent Van Dyke, 38, appeared in Manhattan court on Tuesday, with U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett presiding over the case. Prosecutors claim that Van Dyke was involved in planning and executing the operation to capture Maduro and profited $400,000 by betting on whether the Venezuelan leader would be overthrown on the Polymarket platform. Van Dyke was released on $250,000 bail. This case arises amid concerns about potential insider trading related to a possible war with Iran. The White House has warned its staff against trading based on government information, and Polymarket has faced criticism for allowing bets on topics such as whether "a U.S. downed pilot would be rescued."
