A US special forces soldier involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was arrested and charged for allegedly betting on that operation, netting him $400,000 in profits.

The arrest comes as concerns have grown about people with inside information making bets on the Polymarket and Kalshi prediction markets.

A soldier involved in Nicolás Maduro's capture allegedly placed insider bets on Polymarket using classified information, winning nearly $410,000.

The soldier allegedly bet on Nicolás Maduro's removal as president of Venezuela before news of the raid was reported, sources told CBS News.

A U.S. special forces soldier involved in the military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has been arrested and charged for betting on the mission. Gannon Ken Van Dyke, 38, was part of the mission to capture Maduro and transport him to the U.

Alex Saab made his initial court appearance after being deported over the weekend by acting President Delcy Rodríguez as part of a purge of insider businessmen who are believed to have enriched themselves through corrupt dealings with Maduro.
