2026-04-23 22:12

Odaily reported that ABC News, citing sources, said U.S. federal authorities arrested a special forces soldier on Thursday who was involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The soldier allegedly made over $400,000 by betting on Maduro's downfall. According to sources, federal investigators believe that the soldier placed over $33,000 in bets on the prediction market Polymarket just hours before President Trump announced the capture of Maduro in January. The series of bets yielded over $409,000 in profits, immediately triggering scrutiny within the prediction market and launching a months-long investigation into insider trading.
