US media: US soldier arrested for betting on Maduro's capture, profiting over $400,000

Odaily Planet Daily News: ABC News, citing sources, reported that US federal authorities arrested a special forces soldier on Thursday who was involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The soldier is suspected of profiting over $400,000 by betting on Maduro's downfall. Sources say federal investigators believe that the commando placed bets exceeding $33,000 on the prediction market Polymarket just hours before President Trump announced in January the capture of Maduro. The series of bets yielded a profit of over $409,000, immediately triggering scrutiny within the prediction market and launching a months-long insider trading investigation.
