News Source : Decrypt

News Summary

Army Master Sergeant Gannon Ken Van Dyke, 38, has been arrested and charged with using classified military information to profit on Polymarket.
He placed 13 bets on the platform between December 26 and January 2 using a VPN to mask his location.
He wagered approximately $33,000 across contracts tied to whether Maduro would be removed, whether US forces would invade Venezuela, and related outcomes.
When the operation succeeded, he walked away with over $409,000 in winnings and immediately moved most of the proceeds to a foreign crypto wallet before depositing the remainder into a newly created brokerage account.
