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.

Trump Expedites Medal of Honor for Maduro Raid Pilot Ahead of State of the Union

President Trump expedited the Medal of Honor for Chief Warrant Officer 5 Eric Slover, the Delta Force helicopter pilot who led an MH-47 through heavy fire during the Venezuela raid (Operation Absolute Resolve). The award was announced at the State of the Union after fast-tracked, in-person recommendations and paperwork, with Slover wounded but keeping control to ensure the mission’s success. Officials emphasize the process followed statutory steps, while noting the speed was unusually rapid and that other awards for crew members were discussed.
