Wait, so a Green Beret got arrested for placing $400k in bets on Polymarket about a Venezuela raid that he literally participated in? That's wild. Like, how is that even legal to do in the first place? Dude had direct knowledge of an operation involving Nicolás Maduro's regime and decided to make a quick buck on it. $400k is not small change either. This is basically textbook insider trading but with crypto betting instead of stock options. Makes you wonder how many other people with access to classified info are quietly making moves on prediction markets. The whole thing feels like it shouldn't have been this easy to pull off honestly.
