Special Forces Sgt. in Polymarket Maduro raid bet case released; Kalshi says it blocked him - CNBC
Overview
Master Sgt. Gannon Ken Van Dyke, the Army Special Forces soldier charged over profitable Polymarket wagers tied to a raid aimed at capturing Nicolás Maduro, has been released from custody. New reporting quotes him saying "Army people don’t get the business stuff," a public defense that frames the bets as misunderstanding rather than intentional misuse of classified information. Prosecutors allege he used sensitive, nonpublic information from his role in planning the operation to place bets that paid off, and platforms are under scrutiny for how accounts were handled; the subsequent charging of a Google employee for alleged Polymarket insider trading strengthens concerns about broader misuse of nonpublic information on prediction markets.
