US soldier charged over Maduro bet scandal

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

Axar.az informs, citing CNN, that according to an indictment unsealed Thursday, Master Sgt. Gannon Ken Van Dyke opened an account in late December on Polymarket, one of the best-known prediction markets.

He wagered about $32,000 that Maduro would be “out” by January. The bet was a long-shot.

It should be noted that on January 3, the United States carried out a large-scale military operation in Venezuela, during which President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Flores were arrested and taken out of the country.
