"The account started placing bets on Maduro being booted on December 31, 2025; the account made several bets on Maduro being removed by the end of January, starting with a New Year's Eve bet for $1,238.34. That account started adding to its position over the next few days, including multiple bets of $6,000 or more. There was an $85 bet mixed in there as well for good measure."
"The $404,000 win raised eyebrows, considering the account had only just started betting on Polymarket and had only made a few other bets all of which were tied to the U.S. invading Venezuela. Left-wing political researcher Tyson Brody spotted there was a new account that had made big gains on its Venezuela bets."
A new Polymarket account placed its first bet on December 31, 2025, wagering $1,238.34 that Nicolas Maduro would be removed by the end of January. The account added multiple positions over the following days, including several wagers of $6,000 or more and an $85 bet, bringing total stakes to $32,538.34. The account redeemed $436,759.61 hours after President Donald Trump announced U.S. forces had captured Maduro and his wife. The $404,000 profit prompted speculation about insider information and drew attention from researchers and commentators on X, including Tyson Brody and Joe Pompliano.
