Biqie World News, according to CryptoNews, reports that the U.S. Department of Justice has filed charges against active-duty service member Gannon Ken Van Dyke, alleging that he used confidential information from military operations to conduct prediction market trades related to Nicolás Maduro on Polymarket, earning more than $400,000 in profit. Van Dyke created a Polymarket account in December, placed a total of 13 bets, with total spending of more than $33,000, involving markets on whether Maduro would step down before the end of January and whether the U.S. would invade Venezuela. Prosecutors said that Van Dyke attempted to conceal his identity by requesting Polymarket to delete his account. He faces multiple charges, including alleged violations of the Commodity Exchange Act, cyber fraud, and illegal currency transactions, and could face long-term imprisonment if convicted. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has also filed a civil lawsuit in a parallel case, seeking fines and damages related to his trading activities. FBI Director Kash Pat
