"Master Sgt. Gannon Ken Van Dyke was directly involved in the operation that captured Maduro and his wife, according to a Manhattan federal court indictment. Van Dyke allegedly placed $33,000 worth of bets on Polymarket, betting multiple times up to the day Maduro was captured, which led to an investigation into the suspiciously timed bets."
"Trump commented on the indictment, expressing his disapproval of the betting culture, stating, 'the whole world, unfortunately, has become somewhat of a casino.' He acknowledged the prevalence of betting sites and predictive markets, indicating a shift in societal norms."
"Luna posted on X, urging the president to grant clemency to Van Dyke, claiming, 'Unless the DOJ plans on going after all the crooks in congress currently insider trading, this is simply skewed justice.'"
Master Sgt. Gannon Ken Van Dyke was indicted for allegedly betting $33,000 on the ouster of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. He placed thirteen bets on events related to Maduro's removal, reportedly earning over $409,000. The indictment claims Van Dyke attempted to conceal his winnings through cryptocurrency and deleted his betting account. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called for Trump to pardon Van Dyke, arguing the indictment reflects skewed justice, especially if the DOJ does not pursue insider trading among Congress members.
