Fort Bragg Soldier Pleads Not Guilty in $400K Maduro Raid Bets
A Fort Bragg special-forces soldier, Gannon Ken Van Dyke, pleaded not guilty in New York federal court to charges tied to using classified information from the Maduro raid to place bets on Polymarket, netting more than $400,000 in profits. Prosecutors say Van Dyke placed about $32,000 in bets on US involvement and then transferred the windfall to a foreign crypto vault before moving funds to a new online brokerage; after media reports highlighted the bets, he asked Polymarket to delete his account. He was released on $250,000 bond. The case marks the first known charges over a geopolitical-event prediction market bet, drawing scrutiny of such wagering trends.
