U.S. soldier involved in Maduro raid charged with betting on the operation
Federal authorities arrested and charged a U.S. special forces soldier for allegedly making bets on the raid that removed Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro from office.
The soldier was identified as Gannon Ken Van Dyke in a news release announcing the indictment.
Van Dyke “bet a total of approximately $33,034” on the Maduro operation on the prediction market platform Polymarket, federal authorities said. He ultimately made more than $409,000 as a result of the bets placed on the U.S. operation, an unsealed indictment alleges.
Authorities said he “participated in the planning and execution of the U.S. military operation to capture Nicolás Maduro.”
