Exclusive | The Soldier Accused of Maduro Bets: ‘Army People Don’t Get the Business Stuff’ - WSJ
Overview
Master Sgt. Gannon Ken Van Dyke has publicly defended himself against DOJ allegations that he used sensitive information to make profitable Polymarket wagers tied to the raid that captured Nicolás Maduro, saying "Army people don’t get the business stuff" and suggesting a lack of intent or sophistication. His remarks add a personal dimension to the case, which includes criminal charges, his release from custody, and scrutiny of prediction-market platforms after reports that Kalshi blocked his account. Investigators and platforms continue to review account activity and the handling of nonpublic operational information.
